Danelectro 59 long scale bass ~ black

Great service, great setup, great guitar. Many thanks.

I am extremely happy with my Danelectro DC59, Richards Guitars really do pay attention to detail regarding the setup of the instrument. The guitar arrived well packaged and was really well set up to the point where it was a joy to play. I will definitely be using Richards Guitars for future purchases, it really is worth the wait to receive a guitar that has been given the care and attention it needs before being shipped out.

The overall buying experience was much better than I had experienced from many of the faceless box shifters that dominate the U.K guitar marketplace.

I cant thank Richard and his team enough for such an amazing instrument and the Danelectro DC59 is no exception it resonates beautifully and I was also impressed with the decent build quality.

The Danelectro DC59 is a phenomenal guitar at this price point. Richards Guitars unique service and pre-shipping set up is the icing on the cake.

Thank you ever so much for a very special instrument that feels so good to play and will be treasured going forward.

Great guitar for the price. Good service and the included set up is a welcome bonus. The set up takes the risk out of buying an unopened box.

Fantastic guitar and a brilliant service from the team at RG. Great communication and the guitar arrived well packaged and with a lovely set-up. Highly recommended!

The pre delivery checking and setup service sets them apart from other shops who are willing to ship a sealed box. This avoids the nightmare of having to return a damaged guitar.

The guitar arrived well packaged and looks great. It sounds fantastic when played directly through a Marshall JCM800; its tonal range is ideal for recreating the sounds of the 60's.
Although it is neck-heavy it is a marvellous instrument and I am delighted with the purchase.

Jake and his team went above and beyond to help me realise the guitar of my dreams. I have never had better customer service ever...not buying a car, not buying a house...never. Its not about the dollar with these guys, its a passion.

The Dano Longhorn has all the sounds of the old version - the pickups are still the best for recording, as many record producers who have insisted I use one on their sessions will attest. The new version is more like a "proper" guitar - it is heavier and more substaintially built than the old model, and so loses one of the best features - it's lightness. The copperburt colour now covers more of the body and so the 'fade into white' finish has gone. My recent purchase was fitted with what feel to be 45-105 strings which I personally feel are a bit too much for the small neck and I would change to a gauge lighter. The Danelectro Longhorn is still a must-have in the bass guitar armoury, if you specifically want a short-scale bass. However, I already have a Danelectro Hodad which is a long-scale bass with lipstick tube pickups and that is the one I'm playing more. So my advice would be if you want a short-scale bass get a Longhorn. If you want the great Danelelctro sound buy one of the long scale basses fitted with the same 'lipstick tube' pickups.

I couldn't be happier with my new Danelectro 12 string purchased at Richards Guitars. The fact that they made sure I received the highest quality guitar was very impressive to me. I would not hesitate to suggest Richards to others looking for good quality guitars.

Great guitar far exceeded my expectations
