Danelectro Introduces Three New Electric Guitars
Offerings include a Fifties-inspired design, double-cut 12-string and 60th anniversary model.
Danelectro has introduced a trio of new electric guitar models—the 60th Anniversary DC59M, the DC59X12 12-string and the DG64XT, a modern adaptation of the off-set, reversed double cutaway from the Fifties.
The 60th Anniversary DC59M boasts a double-cutaway Shorthorn shape, two NOS+ lipstick pickups, two stacked tone and volume controls, a three-way pickup selector, 25″ scale length, 21 frets and a fully adjustable wraparound bridge.
The 60th Anniversary DC59M is available in Deep Blue Metalflake and Silver Metalflake finishes at a street price of $469.
Danelectro calls the DC59X12 its “best sounding 12-string ever.” The guitar features a double-cutaway Shorthorn shape, 25″ scale length, 21 frets, a fully adjustable 12-string bridge, a dual humbucking Lipstick pickup and vintage-style large-housing single-coil neck pickup, master volume and master tone with a push pull switch to split the bridge pickup and a 3-way pickup selector.
The DC59X12 is available in Black, Cream and Dark Red finishes at a street price of $499.
The DG64XT boasts a reversed double cutaway offset horn shape, 24.5″ scale length, 22 frets, a Wilkinson vibrato bridge, a dual humbucking lipstick bridge pickup and vintage-style large-housing single-coil neck pickup, master volume and master tone with a push-pull switch to split the bridge pickup and a three-way pickup switch.
