Overview

Special cosmetic features on top of a finely crafted archtop.

Inspired by the timelessness of Marilyn Monroe, D'Angelico is honored to offer a limited run of the all-new Marilyn Monroe EXL-1. Featuring iconic artwork and custom inlays on our most popular body shape, the Marilyn Monroe EXL-1 embodies elegance. With a 17-inch-wide body powered by a single Kent Armstrong mini-humbucker offering remarkable archtop tone, the Marilyn Monroe EXL-1 sounds as good as it looks. Includes hardshell case.
