D'Angelico Excel SS Soho - Best New Slim Hollowbody Jazz Guitar?

[@Alex-je1ll]

Rich, in your hand any guitar sounds amazing because of your amazing playing. Love your very economical hands movements. Even when you play fast passages it looks like you are almost not moving fingers at all. It's very impressive.

Guild has a finish called OPAL twenty years ago that looked almost identical on their Guild Benedetto Artist Award!❤

Amazing playing, effortless skill. Great listen, Rich.

FYI about the Hofner VeryThin, the original VeryThin guitars from the 1960 and 70s were made in Germany and were 100% hollow-body with no block. They were 1 1/4 inch deep and 16 1/2 inch wide.

Wes doesn’t play jazz when he has the finest jazz guitar teacher in house???

The Soho is in size a bit like a Howard Roberts Fusion (sadly no longer made), which was so much better than the ubiquitous 335. This SS Soho with a floating pickup and true hollow body has got to be a winner. Your demo shows what beautiful music can be made with it. And then you had to go and play that wonderful Excel B, oh my goodness! there's now two new guitars on my wish list that I'm posting to Father Christmas.

I'd love to hear the comparison between the Soho and the GB10!!!

Sorry to miss the livestream. Watching on "tape". Nice guitars!

Hey Rich, what's your opinion on the Eastman ER 4, please ?

[@RichSeversonGuitar]

i like it

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

Hello Rich, I have a Howard Roberts and it has a center block. Also, Epiphone has made a thin hollow body called the Sorrento, that is a very nice sounding guitar as well, but some what hard to find.

Sounds real cool and nice ….!👍🏽🙏🏽✌🏽

Is the D'Angelico Excel SS Soho for sale ?

[@RichSeversonGuitar]

We will likely be selling it after we produce more content with it, so probably in about a month and a half.

[@Avatar7x7]

@@RichSeversonGuitar How much does it weigh and what will you ask for it ?

[@revzone3544]

Thank God D,Angelico changed that Ugly headstock, I might buy one..

[@hawedehre]

I don’t mind it.

[@johnmcgrath8886]

I know, the old headstock looked a bit too big

[@genec8393]

16 inch radius. Count me out.

[@jayhudson9514]

I come from classical so the 16" is what's drawing me in!

[@genec8393]

I studied classical guitar. This is not a classical guitar.

[@jayhudson9514]

@@genec8393 hahaha. Never! I thought I was. 😂

[@jayhudson9514]

The point is I’m used to and like a flatter fret board.
