Vintage verve. Originally cobbled together from spare lipstick containers, these pickups have built a reputation for their unique, crystallised sound. And in the DC59 it's even better, because you're getting those retro tones powered by alnico magnets, adding even more musicality to your notes. They're bright and melodious, perfect for picking out the detail of each of your 12 strings, letting you get the best out of your guitar.
A sound that'll resonate with you
To get the most out of those 12 strings, you need a deep cavity to allow for maximum reverberation. And Danelectro know just how to get 12 strings sounding magical, because they've made the DC59 out of Masonite, and shaped it with a hollow body. This means you're going to get sweet, developed sonics every time you pluck a string, as the hollow chamber and body material provide excellent resonance and sustain.
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 DC59. 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!
