Danelectro '59 12 String Guitar With F-Hole - Cherry Sunburst
The Danelectro DC59 12 String Electric Guitar reigns as retro royalty, donning the crown of twelve strings and two magnificent alnico-powered lipstick pickups. Unlocking a realm of bold and enchanting tones, these pickups are tuned to classic frequencies, effortlessly channeling the bright, sparkling tones of the '50s and '60s while delivering stunning articulation—a true homage to the golden era of sound.
While the sonic allure of the DC59 is undeniable, its visual aesthetics and playability truly set it apart. Featuring a captivating doublecut body with a stylish F-hole insert and a striking cherry sunburst finish, all eyes are sure to be on you. Crafted in the classic shorthorn style, the body, made from resonant Masonite, imparts a mesmerising resonance, infusing every chord and note with awe-inspiring sustain and depth. Peerless sonics and an effortlessly cool retro swagger await your command in the DC59 12 string.
Infused with vintage verve, these pickups, originally improvised from spare lipstick containers, have earned their stripes for delivering a distinctive crystallized sound. Elevating the game in the DC59, these retro tones now come powered by alnico magnets, injecting an extra dose of musicality into each note. Radiating brightness and melodious charm, they're tailor-made for extracting the intricacies of each of your 12 strings, ensuring your guitar sings with its utmost potential.
For those 12 strings to reach their zenith, a spacious cavity is essential to allow for maximum reverberation. Danelectro has mastered the art of making 12 strings sound enchanting by crafting the DC59 from Masonite and shaping it into a hollow body. This strategic design ensures that every pluck of a string yields sweet, developed sonics. The synergy of the hollow chamber and the body material creates an acoustic haven, providing exceptional resonance and sustain, turning each strum into a melodic masterpiece.
