Guitar - Excel EXL-1 Throwback - bit.ly/excel-ex...
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.

[@ThePoppinJawn]

Fantastic performance! Great instrument and great voice

[@whwh7339]

Well with this and the Rodney Jones demo I'm about to be the proud owner of an EXL-1 Throwback. Gorgeous instrument.

[@DAngelicoNY]

Congrats and welcome to the family!

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

He's from where Jimmy Arnold came from. Greenville. Jimmy, man there's a musician.

[@JoelWetzel]

Since Marcus can make any guitar sound great you should send the EXL-1 to me and let him fend for himself; he'll be just fine while I need all the help I can get.

[@leonchalita2169]

I feel like Godzilla was always more sexier than Brad pitt

[@blacksunfish]

Outatanding start to finish.

[@narcoticlove]

This guy seems like a character from South Park. Great sound!

[@steelyerface21]

so tasty , finally a demo from dangelico thats got the tone dialed in, too much dirt in most of their demos!

[@nickspitzley8539]

You know they're guitars are better because they're demos are better.

[@alphasxsignal]

Nice

[@nadtorus]

What the first guitar you gave to him? A new yorker but with an excel tailpiece?

[@andrewh7337]

What was the model of the 1st guitar they handed Him?? Looked like a Wes gibson

[@owenf2835]

great playing omfg

[@TheVinciol]

Name of the song?

[@lospadrinosofficial]

Is the bridge pinned in place?

[@DrJoshGuitar]

I don’t believe it is. It’s held in place by string tension only

[@DonIsadick-mf3gv]

That guitar is bigger than he is.

[@Joseph-st3ec]

Too much high reverb mo warmth

[@chimneychuck]

Agreat musician with wondrous levels to achieve as years go by- just lose the poser sunglasses in a darkened room and I'll think of you with even greater respect for your craft.

[@michaelkartman3543]

chimneychuck If anyone’s earned the right to wear sunglasses in the dark, it’s Marcus King. The man gets my respect!

[@letmeooze]

Not that his sunglasses should even change your level of respect for him in the first place, but it's also worth mentioning that he's got some sort of studio lighting on him, which can be hard on the eyes. You'll notice he doesn't have them on in the room with all the guitars, so I imagine he's wearing them because of the lights rather than trying to be a poser. And what would he be posing as? He's already a cool guy and a skilled musician, so it's not like he's got anything to prove.

[@hightopninja8753]

Yeah also that's just his style too like he's either wearing a hat or sunglasses
