The flagship D'Angelico archtop in the Premier Series has been revamped. The Premier EXL-1 now sports a satin finish over natural wood tones, delivering a warmer, more woody archtop sound than ever. With a slim C-shape neck, medium vintage fretwire, and a comfortable 1 and 11/16' nut width, it's incredibly playable for both young jazz enthusiasts and experienced musicians. It features classic Art Deco styling and a single floating Duncan Designed mini-humbucker for a clear, unobstructed tone, making it a top choice in its category. Specifications include a hollowbody with a single cutaway, laminated spruce top, laminated maple back and sides, a satin body finish, Ovangkol fretboard, 14' fretboard radius, 25.5' scale length, 22 medium frets, white pearloid block fretboard inlays, a Duncan Designed floating mini-humbucker at the neck, an Ovangkol bridge, a 5-ply tortoise scalini pickguard, D'Angelico Electrozinc Jazz 12's (12 - 52) strings, Grover 109 Super Rotomatic tuning machines, and chrome hardware finish.
Using your D'Angelico Premier EXL-1 guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Grover 109 Super Rotomatic tuning machines. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming or picking. The single floating Duncan Designed mini - humbucker gives a great tone, so experiment with different settings on your amp to find your favorite sound. When not in use, keep it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and bumps. Wipe the strings after each use with a soft cloth to prevent rust and keep them sounding good. For the body, use a guitar cleaner and polish to maintain the satin finish. And don't forget to check the fretboard occasionally and condition it to keep the wood in good shape. Enjoy playing your amazing guitar!
