In addition, the EXL-1 comes with a floating ebony bridge and classic stairstep tailpiece.Floating mini-humbucker pickupWhen plugged in, the Excel EXL-1’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.
