Featuring classic Art Deco aesthetic flourishes reminiscent of old New York, the Premier EXL-1 is a beacon of D’Angelico guitars. Now available in Gloss Honey Blonde and Brown Burst.

  • Classic Tone – Strapped with either a floating Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini-humbucker or a full-sized 59, both options yield classic archtop tone, with warm, woody low end and articulate mids.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Hollow body electric guitars feature a fully hollow construction that gives them a warm, resonant, and open tone. The air inside the body enhances natural acoustic character, making these guitars especially popular for jazz, blues, and vintage-inspired styles. They respond beautifully to touch and dynamics, offering rich chord detail and smooth lead tones, though they are generally best suited to lower to moderate volume levels. Hollow body electric guitars are ideal for players who value warmth, expressiveness, and a more organic feel in their amplified sound.
