Classic jazzbox tone and stylish Art Deco looks.

Based on John D'Angelico's original flagship archtop design, the Premier Series EXL-1 electric guitar delivers the classic, warm jazz box tone of smoky nights in New York City jazz clubs. Signature Art Deco elements—skyscraper truss rod cover, carved headstock, stair step tuners and tailpiece—supply elegant looks, while the Duncan-Designed floating mini-humbucker brings the naturally punchy mids and warm acoustic resonance to life. If you play jazz, you've always wanted a guitar like this one.
