Overview

The D'Angelico Excel Series Tour Collection contains variations of fan-favorite models--designed to be visually minimalistic yet undeniably professional grade. Built with the gigging player in mind, the Excel DC Tour is both exceptionally well-constructed and highly playable. It retains beloved elements of its standard Excel Series counterpart in its ebony fingerboard and sleek body shape, but features a refined electronics configuration consisting of a single volume and tone knob.

Supro Bolt Buckers provide a wide range of warm and crystal clear humbucker tones while 50s-style wiring retains top-end clarity as the volume knob is rolled off. Representing a less opulent D'Angelico aesthetic, the Excel DC Tour features a Throwback Scroll-Style headstock with custom Vintage Deluxe tuners from Grover and small diamond fingerboard inlays complemented by 1930s-inspired diamond f-holes on its 16-inch wide body.

A few important details I left out from my first review:Electronics seem excellent. Swit is very solid and positive feeling. Volume pot rolls off smoothly and overdriven cleans up nicely. Tone also roll off well, nice taper. Both pots work very smooth. Won't be replacing anything electronic unless it breaks. Especially the pickups! Imo the star attraction of this semi hollow beautys sound. The frets are level, my fret rocker finds them to be really good, nothing high on this one. The ends also really smooth. This does not feel like a $700 guitar. The neck really solid and fast. Playability awesome, relief was almost touching, no buzz. Action was a bit low for my taste but didn't buzz. Love the headstock, not too much. It's a nice guitar period!Finish is perfect. Kinda thick poly but that's kinda norm for most stuff under $1.5- 2k I think. The wine is a lot nicer looking in person. A very deep burgundy almost looks black in dark room. Love the abundance of 5 ply binding, really nice classy touch. All n all a very cool guitar.I installed a Les Tren II was super ez. A little oil on trem hinges and string slots on nut. Surprisingly very stable and to me, makes the guitar even better. Sustain didn't seem to suffer. Which is one of this guitars strong suites. Great sustain.Hope I didn't leave anything out. This is a great guitar and I'm very glad I went for it....
