Excel EXL-1 Throwback Demo with Rodney Jones | D'Angelico Guitars

New for 2020 | D'Angelico Showroom, New York City | Acclaimed guitar virtuoso and professor of Jazz Guitar Studies at The Juilliard School Rodney Jones walks us through the all new EXL-1 Throwback model.
Mic - SM57 (amp) SM57 (close mic)
Amp - Fender Deluxe Reverb
For more information on the Excel EXL-1 Throwback, visit bit.ly/excel-exl-1-throwback
A vintage spin on our flagship model, the Excel EXL-1 Throwback embodies the legacy of fine archtops. A 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep body emanates warm, woody archtop tone propelled by a single floating Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini-humbucker. And visually-it's hard to look away. Old-school full-fret mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays on an ebony fingerboard lead to a scroll-style headstock designed by John D'Angelico in the 30s, while a satin ebony pickguard meets a spruce top featuring multi-bound Throwback f-holes. Available in Vintage Natural and Viola.

This gentleman is a Class Act. Wonderful player. Wonderful guitar.

[@russjalichandra5491]

I don't think you can make more beautiful guitar than this. I can just sit and watch it all day.

[@RhysGilchrist]

Everything about this video is so good! Loving this style of demo.

[@baronvonfuppster4717]

Sold, I'll take one... what an amazing sounding guitar. And such skill to bring the full sound of the instrument out.

[@ric9452]

My man Rodney ,is amazing

[@aikido15m]

Rodney! Amazing artist, amazing guitar :)

[@beccaanderson1287]

Ah Rodney...... you and this guitar are a dreamy match

[@brucebaldy]

Beautiful

[@pabloneruda674]

Bravo Maestro!🔥🔥

[@jamessmitherman63]

really enjoyed the thumb picking at the last half of the video.

[@furtherdefinitions1]

Rodney Jones plays beautifully

[@doug3066]

I got one of these. I had to send it thru SweetWaters shop to replace the frets to Evo gold...I have a Nicole allergy...I love it, it's a joy to play and a joy to just look at.

[@RastaLlama]

That tailpiece is insanely gorgeous

[@knuckle47]

I had called my dealer the day of the NAAM show reveal and asked for a Style B ASAP ! Great guitar

[@CEbding1996]

This dude is the best guitar player I've ever heard!

[@aadityakiran_s]

@@gingerpeachy3044 He is in fact quite reputed and his technique was impeccable. I wonder why it's not as efficient as it used to be. Maybe old age.

[@VoodooDewey69]

Nice comping excellent sound .

[@JoeAmicoMusic]

He’s got that Wes Montgomery thumb goin on! I love it! Just bought the deluxe SS but this will be mine soon as well !

[@jesperlassen666]

Then you just need the thumb🙂

[@francoismorissette9392]

Loved that last number! Thank you..

[@nathanbirkebak2247]

Excellent

[@lorenzopetrocca]

YEAH RODNEY

[@Amanet13]

I just played one at guitar center.Has a nice tone to it.The only thing is the Tone potentiometer is not so flexible.Kinda very limited.So i guess you gotta play with amp.

[@gresinap]

Very nice sound, I'm interested in what type of strings are you using Rodney?

[@DwightMS1]

I also prefer the sound of roundwounds on an archtop.

[@rebeccaabraham8652]

The more videos I watch about D'Angelico guitars the more I'm inclined to purchase one or two... but it's a hollow body - why aren't people showing how it performs as an acoustic as well...?

[@mrbigstuff6149]

I'll have to check it in a shop, too much blowing here.

[@felixluna914]

Anyone knows the price range of this guitar????

[@DAngelicoNY]

The Excel EXL-1 Throwback retails for $1,999.99.

[@thelowmein9143]

deluxe reverb, great amp, with a tremendous sound, but way to loud for my space sadly.

[@lee95757]

Good guitars. I have two but they are no match for Gibson hollowbodies.

[@mojo-hand4539]

Seems like a great guitar. I just wish it was made in the USA.

[@zoomzoom3950]

get a USA made custom from their custom shop in NYC. ;)

[@mjchilds83]

That guitar is so big you could be buried inside it

[@Trombonology]

With all due respect, even with the "updated for today" caveat, I don't think the example that follows remotely resembles Freddie Green's style -- 2:02. Nevertheless, Mr. Jones is a marvelous player and the guitar sounds great.

[@jesperlassen666]

You’re right. It’s much better - it’s 100% Rodney👍

[@jesperlassen666]

Too bad half of the fingerboard is inlays.

[@hkc_sirhc]

hahaha✨☀️

[@vanrozay8871]

The EXL-1 on the pick guard is ugly. Get rid of it!

[@tapstring2]

Please get someone who can play. Jeez!
