Overview

Classic archtop with a bite.

Originally designed by master-luthier John DAngelico in 1959, the EX-59 is a classic archtop, but equipped with P-90 pickups, ideal for the player who wants to exercise some attitude. Its 17-inch body and signature DAngelico headstock come together to create excellent balance and playability.

An exact replica of the original EX-59, this reissue keeps the 59 flair, accentuated by the absence of a pickguard and complete with retro-vibe volume and tone knobs. Buttery, but unafraid to bite, the EX-59 has been adopted by blues icon Robert Randolph as his guitar of choice. Includes hardshell case.
