What We Think

This guitar has great playability and sustain!  This is truly a value you don't want to pass up for such a great jazzbox! The EXL-1DP is really well made, check out all the abalone inlay.  This is a guitar suitable for a jazz pro, the kent armstrong and Johnny Smith Style floating pickup complement the warmth.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

 Renewed artist desire for archtop tone and a major 2011 exhibition featuring John D’Angelico at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Guitar Heroes: Legendary Craftsmen from Italy to New York) fueled tremendous new interest in the D’Angelico brand.

The timing was perfect: The D’Angelico brand had recently been purchased by John M. Ferolito, Sr., a highly successful businessman and an accomplished guitar collector. John carefully recruited a new D’Angelico management team comprised of experts in sales, product development, operations and marketing. He supported them with a new, state of the art manufacturing, warehousing and distribution infrastructure. The entire effort was laser focused on the revitalization and successful relaunch of the D’Angelico brand.

During the initial months of operation the D’Angelico team worked under the radar, creating and perfecting a line of authentic reissues that delivers D’Angelico magic for an accessible price. The new models were enthusiastically embraced by a growing number of serious players and professionals. D’Angelico soon found itself among the most successful “new” brands in the industry.
