Both models feature the richly bound Throwback Scroll-Style headstock and a decadent laminated quilted maple top in two classic colors: Vintage Natural and Iced Tea Burst. They each have a comfortable slim C-shape neck profile, Seymour Duncan 59 humbuckers, premium Jescar 47104 fretwire, vintage-inspired Grover Imperial Tuners, and a rosewood fingerboard.
The Excel DC XT is a 16-inch-wide double-cutaway with remarkable tonal range from vintage-voiced warmth to glassy high-end, while its centerblock easily fights off feedback at high volumes. Its single-cutaway counterpart, the Excel SS XT is only 15 inches wide and is designed to offer jazzy warmth yet remarkable genre versatility, depending on rig pairing.
