Magic

Our highly anticipated D’Angelico USA Masterbuilt reissues will be phased in beginning 2013. These limited run models are being built by acclaimed boutique luthier Gene Baker, Chief Master Builder at Premier Builders Guild (PBG), and his expert build team at the PBG Workshop in Arroyo Grande, California.

The first reissue in the USA Masterbuilt Series is the iconic 1942 D’Angelico Excel, to be introduced at NAMM 2013. Based on extensive research beginning with MRI's of the original, the Excel Reissue will be an authentic update enhanced by modern hardware and appointments.

Acoustic Burst and Electric Burst options featuring: 3A flame maple back/sides, spruce top, ebony fretboard, mother of pearl inlay/headstock design, tortoise multi-bound pickguard, vintage friendly varnish finish, Grover Imperial tuners, D’Angelico trapeze tailpiece, gold hardware and 6105 fret wire. Electric option features Johnny Smith Lollar pickup with one volume pot mounted in pickguard.

The 1942 D’Angelico Excel is a legendary instrument. I want you to feel the D’Angelico magic from the moment you hold this Reissue in your hands. Gene Baker, Chief Master Builder, Premier Builders Guild
