DISC Danelectro 56 Single Cut Guitar with Gold Hardware, White

Full Description

Remaining as true to tone as ever, the singlecut '56 Dan Guitar takes the original U-series single cutaway bodyshape that we first saw in the mid 50's and makes it cooler than ever with a Silvertone dolphin nose headstock shape and humbucking pickups. Adding to the retro vibe is the 56's enclosed plastic button tuners and White finish with Gold hardware.

The twin alnico-powered Lipstick case pickups have warmer spec windings which offer sweeter tones and slightly hotter output, inspired by the Lipstick pickups first added to guitars by Danelectro founder Nathan Daniel in 1947. Pearloid dot inlays on the rosewood fingerboard compliment the Gold hardware and a unique 'D' logo features on the scratchplate.

Press Reviews

"This is the first Danelectro to feature gold-plated hardware. Cosmetic differences aside, this model is certainly on equal terms converning impressive aural attributes and easy playability, offering the same combination of character and good value that goes hand in hand with the Danelectro brand."

- Paul Dixon, Guitar Buyer

"The addition of period details such as the ressurected headstock designs and more modern hardware updates adds to the desirability of these latest models. The superb playability and the tone from those beefed-up Alnico pickups is the icing on the cake. Figure in the price and we reckon it's worth adding some Lipstick to your tonal makeup."

- Ed Mitchell, Guitarist Magazine
