Designed in collaboration with New York City jazz icon Mark Whitfield, the Excel SS Soho embodies both the timeless tone and teeming energy of the city that never sleeps. Featuring a fully hollow body and single Kent Armstrong "Jazzy Joe" floating mini-humbucker, the SS Soho offers warm, round low-end as well as an articulate mid-range perfect for dynamic lead-playing-and a slim C-shape neck and 16" fingerboard radius make faster lines effortless. Premium components such as Grover Imperial tuners, Jescar fretwire, and a Stairstep tailpiece bring exceptional feel and timeless vibe. A laminated spruce top featuring a Dark Cherry Burst finish pays homage to Whitfield's all-time favorite jazz boxes while striking the balance between traditional and modern.

I’ve admired Mark’s playing since I bought his debut album The Marksman back around 1990. I was all about Steve Vai, SRV and Joe Satriani back then. I was blown away by his playing. Since then he has matured deeper into his own distinct style, a little Wes, a little Benson, plenty of soul and an awful lot of Mark Whitfield. This new guitar looks great - an instrument built for jazz and neo-soul, but easily accessible. Love it.

D’Angelico are just gorgeous works of art in looks, sound & playability. Beautiful signature guitar ❤

[@billmalloneemusic]

Mark is a national treasure. I've never heard a solo or an instrumental section that he played that didn't sound soulful & inspired! A beautiful guitar, as well! Bravo, D'Angelico!

[@cironicholas526]

I saw Mark playing with Jimmy Smith when i was a kid about 25 years ago. Changed my life!

[@KeithCopeland778]

The PHENOMENAL Mark Whitfield!!! You can't go wrong with Kent Armstrong pickups! That's a very sweet guitar!

[@boomerdell]

Mark Whitfield is an incredibly talented musical artist and I've enjoyed listening to his music for quite a while now. I do hope to see him perform live sometime soon. He is soooooo good! I'm glad that he's getting this kind of recognition. Fantastic!

[@GregPentecost]

I have been waiting more than 5 years for a hollow-body SS!!! Love my 59 and SS, but have a feeling this will replace both! Thank you!

[@patrickevelyn8028]

Sounds bright

[@junka22]

Mark is such a class act and monster player!

[@jerrymcleod8586]

[@kennethdavila5412]

[@MrJommins]

Wow~! This is exactly the type of guitar I want! You guys are by far my favorite brand!

[@rodolpheponthus2948]

[@miles2928]

This guy would sound good playing any guitar

[@grantgre]

congratulations Mark Whitfield that guitar sounds great and that's a great endorsement. Hey Mark come on down to Just Fish and Newark on Fridays and sit in a jam OK

[@redbarchetta8782]

Wonderful guitar and playing Mark. And that is a GREAT price too btw. Might be looking at one of these to go with my R9.

[@FJness]

Mark is a freakin beast, i started listening after I watched a video of him flirting with Kathrine McPhee with a sick solo 😂 during Chris botti’s version of “I’ve got you under my skin”

[@grantgre]

it's funny how all the great guitarist can take your guitar and make it sound fantastic and then give it back to you and you're like what just happened? That's happened to me with my guitar teacher back in the day and basically all the master guys can do that they can make any guitar sound really great

[@mrblank-zh1xy]

Where has this guitar been all my life?

[@gxs9882]

like his playing , it's funky

[@tuffitout2568]

Mr. Whitfield is an American jazz guitar master.

[@Uuur10]

I'm getting one😎

[@Phoboss32]

Mark, please do another guitar course on Truefire!

[@To.Si.Ma.]

I really love D'Angelico guitars and I am a happy owner. - But I really miss a bigger choice of pickups on the jazzboxes Exl-1 or Throwback . I mean Jazz is where D'Angelico come from. Everytime I look up the catalogue I find myself disappointed that they always come with a floating pickup. And it doesen t make sense to me since the most frequent pickups for jazz guitar are humbuckers, Charlie Cristians or P90s.

[@stereosiddharth]

what's the name of the second song he is performing? its amazing!

[@grantgre]

It kinda sounds like a Gibson ES 335 but I think it's smaller than that in size

[@wolfchapz7669]

Killin

[@ubon21]

02:28 can I watch the full version of this somewhere?

[@brainator2449]

I want this guitar, but it is out of stock 😢😢😢

[@holi507]

What happened to the New Yorker line?!!

[@user-tc5bm9ft2b]

What’s the name of the song on 2:34 ?

[@chrispile3878]

So it's a single pickup George Benson...
