Description
The D'Angelico EX-SS is a masterclass in compact archtop design, marrying vintage elegance with modern versatility. Its 15-inch semi-hollow body delivers surprising depth and clarity, perfectly voiced through a pair of high-output Kent Armstrong humbuckers. Whether you're digging into smooth jazz runs, laying down rich R&B rhythms, or pushing into overdriven blues leads, this guitar keeps pace with warmth, articulation, and style. The gold hardware and flamed maple top, back, and sides make for a visually striking instrument, with the classic stairstep tailpiece and pickguard rounding out the art deco aesthetic. This Made-in-Korea piece is a semi-hollow you don't want to miss, it punches well above it's weight.
