FS/FT : D'Angelico Excel EX 63 SOLD

Fonusbak

Another guitar of mine that's been so seldom used it's embarrassing...a Jazzer's delight! Sadly, I play jazz like the guys on the Fast Show so...

Not one I know a whole lot about either - other than it looks amazing - if Carlsberg did headstocks! Below is the blurb from the internet which says it all much better than I could. There are also a few Youtube-lets which show it being played as it should be. 

"The EX-63 is a throwback capable of rousing an awful lot of attention. A non-cutaway, round-hole archtop modeled after the last guitar that John D’Angelico ever built, the 63 boasts a wispy, crisp tone and remarkable playability, featuring an ebony fingerboard and C-shape neck. Elegance and function come together in its floating ebony piezo bridge and signature trapeze-style Stairstep tailpiece. No knobs needed. Complete with Grover Super Rotomatic tuners and Scalini pickguard.

The case for this is HUGE so picking it up from South Manchester/Airport area may be the easiest/cheapest. Cost to post via the local Mailbox Etc franchise (who will do a far better job of packaging/parcelling/sending than I ever would!) looks to be about £50. 

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Oh....one final point. It's been hard to find a valuation for this so I took the price from a sale on Reverb a few years back. That was in the USA so added the 25% + postage more expensive to get here. Not a brilliant way to do it but that's as scientific as I got....feel free to challenge/inform.
