Say hello to authentic jazzbox tone. The D’Angelico Excel 16 is a slightly slimmed-down hollowbody electric guitar that pays tribute to the original designs built by John D’Angelico in the early 1900s. Its laminated maple body pairs with a laminate spruce top for articulate attack and smooth resonance. The guitar features a set 3-piece neck constructed from maple and walnut, supplying easy playability and excellent sustain. Plug into your favorite amp, and the floating Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith mini humbucker delivers warm, smooth, and crystal-clear tones fit for rich chord voicings and soaring arpeggio-based lines. Players particularly appreciate the pickguard-mounted controls, which make a minimal sonic impact on the acoustic tone. Choose the Excel 16, revel in magnificent hollowbody tone, and unleash your full playing potential.

Classic tonewoods and quality craftsmanship

D’Angelico crafts each Excel 16 hollowbody from maple and spruce, just like John D’Angelico did in the early 20th century. This guitar’s laminate spruce top and laminate maple back and sides team up to deliver excellent response and old-school jazzbox tone, even with its 16-inch body width and slightly slimmer 2.75-inch body depth. In addition, the Excel 16 comes with a floating ebony bridge and classic stairstep tailpiece.

Floating mini-humbucker pickup

When plugged in, the Excel 16’s voice is supplied by a Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith floating mini humbucker. It pays homage to the original mini humbucker played by Johnny Smith, a jazz guitarist heralded for his smooth sound and sophisticated style. As you'd expect, this mini humbucker produces a palette of warm sounds that is perfect for everything from jazz chording and melody lines to octaves a la Wes Montgomery. Plus, the volume and tone controls are mounted to the pickguard for no noticeable impact on the axe’s acoustic tone.

Super-playable neck

Your fingers will fall in love with the Excel 16 as soon as you start fretting notes. The 3-piece neck is made from two pieces of maple sandwiching a single walnut ply. And it plays like a dream. D’Angelico carves the neck into a comfortable C-shaped profile, which offers a stable, hand-filling feel. Plus, the neck is topped by a 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard studded with 22 easy-playing frets.

Great product!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
This is my second time purchasing these shelves. They are easy to set up, come with all the screws, brackets, and drywall anchors (if needed). I definitely love the quality, look and versatility. Being that my ceiling is slanted I couldn’t mount them from there but easily mount them to the surface beneath the shelving. My husband loved my idea and how they turned out! Highly recommend!

No Instructions - Easy to build and study
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I ordered 3, and my wife loves the look of them. They seem to support a decent amount of weight. I supervised my 7 year old (55 lbs) as she scaled a single shelf bracket up the wall after it was mounted, without the planks. You do need to have some amount of handiness to be looking at buying as it does not come assembled, and does not have the wood planks with it. A little learning curve I had. Keep the rods only hand snug, not tight, snug, and then as you put it up to the wall adjust as needed to get the heights and widths right to the opposing shelf. There is also only 8 pipe brackets to hold the shelves down (2 per shelf) and I did not realize this at first and assumed I had 16 (4 per shelf). I had to go back and fix.

Game changing storage!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I love the shelves. I got to use my own wood which was a reclaimed piece that I found and sanded and then stained. I'm so proud to see them on the shelves. It got so much clutter corralled from around the room and put in one place where it all looks good displayed together. The support pieces are very good quality and I found this to be very good value for the price. I'm very happy with this item.

Good all around, some imperfections on threads difficult to screw together
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I received a complete product as advertised, it's a solid steel design with everything you need to mounted included. One small issue I encountered is that the pieces screw together but they wouldn't screw all the way it felt difficult and possibly if forced the steel might crack. Unfairly enough other pieces did completely screw in. So it's probably because of imperfections on the threads.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.
