An Excel Mini DC Designed for Stage and Studio
This Excel Mini DC Tour embodies the D'Angelico spirit: elegant aesthetics, meticulous finishes, and a sonic identity tailored for modern styles. The "mini" format offers a more immediate grip, while the semi-hollow construction with center block aims for an effective balance between resonance, stability, and control at high volume.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
The D'Angelico Excel Mini DC Tour Solid Wine is perfectly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a more compact, versatile, and reliable semi-hollow for the stage. It excels in blues, rock, indie, modern jazz, and pop: round enough for muted chords, yet with the attack needed for articulate riffs and solos.
The Sound
The maple top, back, and sides provide a lively response, good definition in the upper spectrum, and a clear attack, especially appreciated in chords and rhythm playing. The center block enhances sustain and stabilizes behavior at high volume by reducing the typical feedback sensitivity of hollow bodies. Regarding pickups, the neck humbucker in Alnico II favors warmer, singing tones, while the bridge pickup in Alnico V offers more bite and precision to cut through the mix.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick with a set of D'Addario EXP110 strings identical to the factory setup. Since the guitar is equipped with a standard mono jack output, a mono instrument jack cable is perfectly suitable.
