(SOLD) Danelectro '59M-NOS+ Black 2015
Danelectro '59, made in Korea recently, black. I really didn't know what to expect when I first got this, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised. First up, it's light as a feather, and the neck is perfectly slim and comfy. The tuners and bridge are really good, they're sturdy and work perfectly. The build quality is really good, everything is very tidy and it all feels 'just right'. The lipstick pickups really sing; the tone sits somewhere in the vicinity of a Tele but with a whole lot of openness and warmth, it's very sweet. The signature masonite body is comfortable and resonant, and the shape really nails the vintage aesthetic. These come in some pretty outrageous finishes, but the classic tuxedo look is very classy and certainly the versatile choice. This is a very good guitar, it'll surprise and amaze for a long while to come!
