The Danelectro '59 12-String Black is a modern reissue of the iconic late-'50s guitar that became a staple in classic rock 'n' roll and has been immortalized on countless recordings. Even before its fame in rock, the DC 59 with its distinctive Lipstick pickups was the go-to instrument for many slide and blues guitarists, as Danelectro models were among the few affordable options available to most American guitarists at the time. This guitar features the classic semi-hollow construction with a Masonite body and a bolt-on maple neck. The shortened 25" scale length, combined with a fixed hardtail bridge with 12-string saddles and Alnico Lipstick single-coil pickups, offers a unique playing experience and the unmistakable Dano sound that players have come to love.
