Lipstick Pickups

The Danelectro 59X features a Dual Humbucking Lipstick Pickup at the bridge and a Vintage Style Single Coil at the neck. The original lipstick-tube pickups were manufactured using surplus lipstick tubes that were bought from a cosmetics manufacturer, and featured on many original Danelectro guitars. These surplus lipstick tubes, had the electronics inserted within and therefore made it the lowest cost guitar pickup in the industry at the time. These renowned pickups allow you to achieve a rich and round sound. The use of the dual humbucking lipstick pickup in the bridge position provides a powerful crunch. Whilst the neck single coil produces those bright and twangy tones.

Plywood & Composite Construction

With a double cutaway shorthorn shape, the Danelectro 59X provides players with easy access to the higher frets, as well as adding vintage aesthetics. The body features semi-hollow construction, with a centre block and a hollow inner chamber that enhances the resonance and adds airiness. The Danelectro 59X's body is crafted from both composite and plywood, which together delivers an overall well-balanced tone.

The Danelectro 59X neck is made from maple, which provides bright, twangy tones, with exceptional sustain and plenty of snap. The neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard that enhances the guitar's tone with richness and dynamics, creating sparkling highs and firm lows.
