Delivering rich semi-hollowbody tones with a wide range of sonic options, the Danelectro '59 Divine semi-hollowbody guitar is sure to hold a distinctive spot in your guitar collection. A pair of Vintage '50s single-coil lipstick pickups offer the classic Danelectro sound — plucky and jangly when clean, while also taking to fuzz and distortion extremely well. Stacked volume/tone controls for each pickup yield an array of tones to explore. Meanwhile, a real bone nut and premium Gotoh 15:1 tuning machines maintain impeccable tuning stability. Whether you want to tap into the classic Danelectro sound, or simply need a sonic alternative to your solidbody guitars, you'll be impressed with the Danelectro '59 Divine semi-hollowbody electric guitar.
The two single-coil Lipstick pickups in the'59 Divine have a one-of-a-kind tone that captured the imagination of so many guitarists over the last six decades. With their coils wrapped around an Alnico VI magnet and then wrapped in tape, these pickups harken back to the vintage tone of rock's earliest days. The result is a sound that truly stands alone — jangly, with a punchy midrange and a treble kick. And with a 3-way pickup selector, plus stacked volume and tone controls for each pickup, you'll have a lot of options for dialing in your ideal tone for any track.
Founded in 1947, Danelectro produced guitar amps throughout the 1940s before expanding into guitars in the '50s. With their beloved quirky hollowbody designs, hardboard/plywood construction, and Lipstick pickups, the iconic Danelectro designs are instantly recognizable. Among other innovations, Danelectro introduced the baritone guitar in 1956, and the electric sitar in 1967. From guitar gods Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck to Who bassist John Entwhistle (check out the bass solo on "My Generation") to country superstar Glen Campbell, Tom Petty lead guitarist Mike Campbell, and the ever-eclectic Wilco guitarist and solo artist Nels Cline, Danos have become staples in the guitar and bass arsenals of top artists in all genres. Now Danelectro is back again and better than ever; Sweetwater is proud to offer you this formidable lineup of iconic vintage-inspired instruments.
