Here for sale we have a Danelectro Model DC59 Electric Guitar. Made in Korea, this guitar consists of a Masonite body with a wooden frame, a Maple neck, and a 21-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include enclosed tuning machines, chrome hardware, and two NOS lipstick single coil pickups that are wired to two independent stacked volume and tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Maple neck plays very well, with what might be described as a rounded 'C' profile that provides comfortable playability in all registers. The Gloss finish to the rear ensures that navigation of the 25" scale is a smooth and effortless affair. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 20" radius offers a nicely flat and consistent playing surface right the way up the register. The Masonite construction keeps the weight down to just 6.15lbs, meaning this guitar is nice and light on the shoulders.
The Masonite body construction ensures a beautiful resonance and nicely open tone that suits this style of guitar perfectly. The pair of Lipstick single-coils installed deliver a bright and sparkling sound that will cut easily through even the most saturated of mixes The stacked individual volume and tone controls are intuitive to use, giving enough versatility without over complicating things. They also provide a varied tonal palette giving you sound to fill a range of genres.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
