A compact semi-hollow with big, vintage-inspired character.
Don't let its compact size fool you—the D'Angelico Excel Mini DC semi-hollow electric guitar is a sonic heavyweight built for big tone, bold expression and effortless playability. With its sleek, 14"-wide double-cutaway body and centerblock construction, the Mini DC offers a refined take on the classic semi-hollow sound, with greater feedback resistance and stage-friendly comfort. The gloss-finished laminated maple top, back and sides provide clear articulation and midrange punch, while a pair of USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver a wide palette of warm cleans, biting leads and everything in between. Coil-splitting push/pull tone controls and a smooth ebony fretboard add expressive range and refined playability. It's a stunning blend of form and function that's perfect for players chasing vintage vibes with a modern feel.
Scaled-Down Semi-Hollowbody for Modern Playability
The Excel Mini DC's standout feature is its scaled-down 14"-wide double-cutaway body—a slimmer, lighter take on the classic semi-hollow form. Constructed with laminated maple and a solid centerblock, the body delivers a resonant, punchy tone while resisting unwanted feedback at higher volumes. The 1.75" depth keeps the instrument feeling sleek and manageable, especially during long sessions or gigs. A five-ply body binding and gloss finish give the guitar a premium feel, while the tortoiseshell Scalini pickguard adds a vintage touch. This smaller frame doesn't sacrifice tone—it just makes it easier to wield.
Smooth Ebony Fingerboard and Fast C-Shaped Neck
The Excel Mini DC is built for smooth playability, thanks to its set-neck construction and slim C-shaped neck profile. Made from a three-piece maple/walnut/maple laminate, the neck provides strength and tonal stability, with a gloss finish that feels fast but substantial. A 16" radius ebony fingerboard adds a touch of luxury and clarity, featuring split-block mother-of-pearl inlays and 22 Jescar frets. With a 24.75" scale length and 1-11/16" TUSQ nut, the neck has a familiar feel that invites expressive bending, intricate chord work and articulate solos across the fretboard.
USA-Made Seymour Duncan Pickups With Coil-Splitting Capabilities
Loaded with a pair of USA-made Seymour Duncan humbuckers, the Excel Mini DC delivers everything from jazzy warmth to searing rock tones. The Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck offers rich, smooth lows and detailed highs, while the SH-4 bridge pickup brings focused mids and cutting presence. Independent volume and tone knobs let you fine-tune each pickup, and push/pull coil splitting expands the tonal range with single-coil sparkle. Whether you're chasing vintage clean tones or high-output grind, this versatile pickup pairing offers flexibility for any genre.
Refined Appointments With Gig-Ready Features
From its gold Grover 509 locking tuners to its aluminum skyscraper truss rod cover, the Excel Mini DC is rich with elegant design touches. The standard D'Angelico headstock features mother-of-pearl logos and a cupola headpin, wrapped in 3-ply binding for added depth. The four ebony control knobs mirror the fretboard's refined look, while gold strap buttons and Tune-o-matic bridge hardware complete the upscale aesthetic. Designed with working musicians in mind, the guitar includes locking tuners for quick string changes and reliable intonation, plus a premium gig bag for safe, easy transport.
A Versatile Semi-Hollow Guitar for Modern Players
Combining a vintage-inspired voice with compact comfort, the D'Angelico Excel Mini DC semi-hollow electric guitar is tailor-made for players who demand flexibility, finesse and standout style. Its scaled-down body size, premium electronics and luxe appointments make it a stellar choice for everything from jazz and soul to indie rock and blues. Whether you're a seasoned semi-hollow fan or exploring this style for the first time, the Excel Mini DC offers a refined playing experience with a tone that's as rich as its design.
