Danelectro '59 12 String Guitar ~ Black

Full Description

Lipstick licks

Vintage verve. Originally cobbled together from spare lipstick containers, these pickups have built a reputation for their unique, crystallised sound. And in the 59X it's even better, because you're getting those retro tones powered by a humbucker and a single coil, adding even more musicality to your notes. The humbucker hits with a powerful crunch, great for getting your rock boots on, meanwhile the single coil purrs with a rich, twangy timbre. They're bright and melodious, perfect to picking out the detail of each of your six strings, letting you get the best out of your guitar.

Plywood & Composite Construction

It's all about the easy access to the higher frets, because that double cutaway shorthorn shape is going to have you dancing up the high registers with ultimate freedom. And of course, it looks fabulous too. But the real star of the show is the hollow body with a centre block. These features infuse a singing resonance and airy cadence to everything you play, making sure that's its got the extra details to make you stand out.

Make your riffs sing...

...On a rosewood fretboard that's simply sublime. Showcasing a silky-smooth surface to paint your riffs with, you'll barely feel any resistance as you navigate the board. Playing with 12 strings can be challenging for extended periods of time, but not with the 59. That's because the neck is shaped into a supremely comfortable "C" shape, so you'll be able to focus on strumming the chords and less on hand fatigue!
