Vintage Jangle, Modern Quirks

The Danelectro 59 DC Electric Guitar is a curious blend of vintage charm and modern inconsistencies. We were immediately struck by its lightweight build and eye-catching retro aesthetics. The comfortable neck and smooth playability were standout features, making it a joy to handle right out of the box.

The lipstick pickups, a hallmark of Danelectro guitars, delivered that sought-after vintage jangle sound we've come to expect. We found the tone versatile enough for various genres, with particularly impressive results when channeling Led Zeppelin-esque riffs. The guitar's resonance and sustain were surprisingly good for its price point.

However, not all was perfect in our experience. The tone controls had a tendency to move with the volume knobs, which was frustrating while playing. While the bridge pickup alone sounded a bit thin and the neck pickup a tad dark, combining them yielded more balanced tones.

For us, the Danelectro 59 DC represents excellent value for money, despite its quirks. It's a guitar that punches above its weight class in terms of sound and playability. We think it's ideal for players seeking that distinctive vintage tone without breaking the bank. However, perfectionists or those expecting flawless build quality might find themselves disappointed.

Collectible and surprisingly playable

Mine is the 2nd generation reissue Chinese made one with asymmetric headstock, and non-stacked pots. It has a burgundy color that made me call it the Dr. Pepper guitar. It came for a price I could not resist, and thought I’d keep it in the trunk for the worst scenario. Surprisingly, after some cleaning and setup, the thing not only looks good, but plays good and sounds well enough for a 200 $ axe.The straight maple neck has a comfortable profile depth , maybe at its width some more real estate could come handy, which makes it a twang guitar, rather than a two note-bend guitars. Has a nice sustain with a flat fretboard, that makes it highly suitable for slide. I tend to tune it to open G and fiddle with Muddy Waters riffs for hours. The bridge PU alone sound a bit thin, the neck a bit too dark, but the two provide a nice balanced sound when engaged together. A blend wiring could be very useful for this kind of guitar. It has a unique sound without any added effects, I believe it will serve me well as an open mike / backup or canyoulenda guitar.

Love the guitar, unique.

I own the 2007 version, wich is a bit poorly produced. The original pickups sound a bit muddy and not as clean as the pickups of former version. But what makes me love the guitar is the feel this piece produces as you play it. If you like single coils and clean/low gain sound you will not regret purchasing one, it´s great for spacier sounds too. Try some fx and you´ll see. :D

This guitar oozes Rock & Roll.

With a set of DR Black Beauties coated black strings it sounds very ballsy. The guitar came new and needed very little attention before getting it ready for playing. My original thoughts of it as a joke guitar were changed immediately after cranking the volume and setting it loose. It has great tone and the action lets it sail from end to end. It will begin earning your respect and you'll start fawning over it like a 59' Les Paul.

Bought it for sixties sound but...

This guitar has an unexpected rock sound, very powerful. I bought it for open tuning and slide guitar (it fits well for that) and for a Beatles sixties sound (it's not what I thought).

paperdolls

from 1998

This is a re-issued i got in 1998. Smashed up a bit and I use duct tape to fix it. and it still sounds ok, considering it is semi-hollow, Light in weight, tone is impeccable, and you only get that from a danelectro.

Fun, unique twangy sound, but with some quality issues

This is a very fun guitar to play-the neck action is great, but the pots are very fussy and mine needed some work almost immediately. The sound variations are somewhat limited, but I don't think there is any other guitar that sounds quite like the Danelectro. Being that they are so inexpensive, I guess you can forgive it for the not so great quality control.

In the official music video for "The Unforgiven II" by Metallica, Kirk Hammett is seen playing a guitar that closely resembles a Danelectro 59 DC. Although I initially identified it as such, the unique pickguard and pickup configuration led me to believe it may actually be a Danelectro 4021. This guitar matches the distinct features observed in the video, including the pickguard, pickups, and knobs.
