D’Angelico Excel EXL1 Hollowbody Jazz Guitar – UNPLUGGED – Video

To View on Rumble – click here.

This is an example of the unplugged, acoustic tone of a D’Angelico Excel EXL1 Hollowbody Jazz Guitar.

I used a Dunlop .73 Tortex guitar pick and recorded with an AKG P420 large diaphragm, dual capsule microphone into a ZOOM Q8HD camera via xlr cable.


The guitar has an all-laminate maple body with laminate spruce top.


I removed the non-functional pickup. They list it as “floating” but have them taped to the top with double-sided tape. I plan to put in a pair of Seymour Duncan Seth Lover non-potted pickups and good wiring including 4 pots – two volume and two tone, as one might find in a far more expensive Gibson L5

This clip is about the first half of Barney Kessel’s version of “Autumn Leaves”
Let me know what you think.

Thanks for watching!

Now available on iTunes: “Little Martha” acoustic instrumental

This is my cover of the classic acoustic instrumental composed by Duane Allman. On the original both he and Dickey Betts played, so I arranged this for a single guitar.

Duane co-wrote songs with his brother Gregg and Dickey Betts, but “Little Martha” is the only song written solely by Duane before having the motorcycle accident that killed him at age twenty-four in 1971.
 
Download “Little Martha” from iTunes, I’d sure appreciate it!
