The D'Angelico Excel SS Soho hollowbody electric guitar offers jazz musicians a lush tone and fast-playing neck. Designed in collaboration with jazz icon Mark Whitfield, this single-cutaway hollowbody combines a fully hollow spruce and flame maple body with a single floating Kent Armstrong mini humbucker for warmth and articulation. The slim C-shaped neck and 16" fingerboard radius facilitate dynamic lead playing.

Hollowbody Construction Provides Resonance

The Excel SS Soho's hollow spruce top and flame maple back and sides vibrate freely, producing resonant tones with rich lows and present mids. The construction's lightweight feel belies its full, balanced voice. The hollowbody design's acoustic properties also mean you can practice unplugged when desired.

Floating Mini Humbucker Delivers Versatile Tone

The Kent Armstrong Jazzy Joe floating mini humbucker pickup provides a range of tones suited for jazz and beyond. With warm, round lows and an articulate midrange, you can get classic jazz tones as well as bluesy leads. Adjust the pickup height for your desired tone. The pickup's smaller size contributes to the hollowbody's acoustic resonance.

Fast-Playing Neck Accommodates Styles

The Excel SS Soho's slim C-shaped neck and 16" fingerboard radius make fretting chords and faster lead lines effortless. The smooth ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets also facilitate quick playing. This highly playable neck design suits jazz, fusion and blues styles.

Premium Components for Feel and Tone

Grover Super Rotomatic locking tuners provide accurate and stable tuning. The ebony bridge and stairstep tailpiece also enhance tone and feel. The Tusq nut helps produce clear, ringing notes up the neck. With quality components throughout, the Excel SS Soho gives you an inspiring playing experience.
