D'Angelico / Excel DC Black Dog

The Excel DC Black Dog is a semi-hollow body model with an original double cutaway shape, 16 inches (406.4 mm) wide and 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) thick, and a center block structure.

The pickguard, with its original shape that is characteristic of D'Angelico, is black (5 ply) and has a design reminiscent of part of an f-hole.
The body top, headstock and neck are decorated with binding, and the design, combined with the mother-of-pearl/avalon split block position markers, gives a chic and gorgeous impression.
The body is made of mahogany top, sides and back.
The maple/walnut/maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard.
The scale is 24.75 inches (628.65 mm), and the neck is a three-piece structure with walnut sandwiched between maple, which is resistant to warping and twisting.
The neck joint is also a set neck joint.
In addition, it is equipped with a dual action truss rod that can be adjusted on the head side.
The distinctive headstock design inherits the tradition of D'Angelico.
The truss rod cover is made of aluminum, and its striking design is inspired by the skyscrapers of New York City, where Art Deco architecture (such as the Empire State Building) was popular around 1930.
The pickup is equipped with a metal-covered USA Seymour Duncan 59 humbucker.
The control layout is 2 volume, 2 tone, and 3-way pickup selector, and the tone of each pickup doubles as a coil split push-pull switch, with a total of 8 coil combinations.
The hardware is unified in gold, and it is equipped with reliable Grover Imperial machine heads, stop tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge.
The gloss finish is black dog, which makes use of the mahogany ducts.
Hard case is included.
