Watch as our EVP of Product, Ryan Kershaw, walks you through the specs, features, and design story behind our brand new Excel Series Tour Collection.⁠
Introducing the D’Angelico Excel Series Tour Collection - a new take on our most popular semi-hollow models, designed with the touring musician in mind.
The Tour Collection is defined by a minimalistic, vintage-inspired aesthetic, top-of-the-line components, and a simplified electronics configuration featuring new, custom pickups by Supro. Available in the collection is the 16-inch-wide double-cutaway DC, the 15-inch-wide single-cutaway SS, and a 14-inch-wide Mini DC. Each model comes in three finishes: Slate Blue, Solid Wine, and Solid Black.
Every detail of the Tour Collection was chosen to achieve retro minimalism. Small diamond fingerboard inlays match 1930s-style diamond f-holes, and an undersized Throwback Scroll-style headstock achieves excellent head to body balance. The collection also features satin nickel hardware and custom Vintage Deluxe Grover tuners with a 15:1 gear ratio. Each model also features a simplified two-knob electronics configuration with 50s-style wiring to retain top-end clarity upon rolling off the volume knob.
Supro Bolt Bucker pickups were designed to offer the tone of the most sought-after vintage "PAF" pickups from the late 1950's. Scatter wound, just like the originals, Supro Bolt Buckers utilize 42-gauge enamel wire along with a mixture of Alnico II (neck) and Alnico V (bridge) magnets to provide the perfect balance of warmth and clarity with unrivaled articulation and note bloom.

I bought the double cut and loved it so much I also bought the single cut. Great guitars. The tone and build quality is first class and the specs on the instrument are insane for the price. Bone nut, ebony fingerboard, beautiful full binding and Grover tuners. These are all high end. Thank you D’Angelico for two great guitars. I hope you do well, you deserve to.

[@DAngelicoNY]

That's a start to a great collection! Thank you for the kind words!

D’angelico is my favorite guitar brand. My DC mini is the guitar I have been wanting for 30 years. My DC Mini Tour is that in the mail right now and I can’t wait.

[@HelpingHandAlias]

After the price drop it is a steal. Unbelievable good built quality. Best part to me are the supro pickups. So much clarity and warmth paired together. Love them more than all the Dimarzios and Seymours i played.

I bought the dc in wine and loved the pickups and guitar so much i bought the blue mini dc.

[@JMal883]

Just got the DC mini, it’s so good, only my second day with it and already one of my favourites. If you made one with P90’s I wouldn’t leave the house!

[@dannysiacovouguitar]

I loved those pickups. It would be cool to see a few solid body models that have them too in the future!

[@thefilmandmusic]

Look great absolutely need Bigsby versions

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

LOVE this video! Definitely need more appearances from Ryan! 🙌

[@mikecole4489]

Been needing a touring guitar can't wait to try one guys!!

[@charlesharper7292]

I like this new line. The pickups are interesting, and the mini DC looks tasty! Going to check it out. Thanks and Merry Christmas.❄️

[@JackTheSkunk]

The single cutaway in wine would be my choice but it should be offered with a trapeze tailpiece as well for those of us who would like to add a Bigsby.

[@larryboz]

Love it

[@johannesfreutel4387]

will there be a solid body version of this as well ?

[@doreme2457]

Spical clear sound guitar

[@gusgozar4628]

What string brand and gauge are on excels

[@DAngelicoNY]

It depends, but our Excel Series Tour collection features D'Addario 10's.

[@JMal883]

Are these the standard 10’s? They feel much better than usual, though that could be because the guitar is so good.
