Danelectro DC-59, silver sparkle over black, made in Korea circa 2000. This is a fun little overachiever with heaps of personality. These Korean-made Dan reissue models are nicely put together, feel great and pack a really distinctive, tasty tone. The sparkle finish is surely going to look great on stage, and paired with the classic curves, stacked knobs and lipstick pickups, it's hipsterriffic. The tone is crisp, tight and defined, with a big attack and a tuneful chime that's perfect for surf or indie stuff. Dantastic.
