Danelectro '63 Electric Guitars

Back in ’63… gas cost 26 cents a gallon… a new group called the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show…and an odd-looking electric guitar burst onto the pages of the Sears catalog.
Danelectro’s “model 1449” would soon become the rage of garage bands and pros alike.
Why? One reason was tone. Danelectro’s pickups, ingeniously housed in lipstick tubes, quickly became known for their “signature twang”. The guitar bodies were lightweight and featured a hollow inner chamber which made them sonically “alive”… unlike traditional solid bodies.

Fast forward forty-five years…Danelectro re-issues this prized guitar…calling it the “Dano 63”.
Our first task in bringing back this great guitar was to replicate the 60’s era Lipstick pickups. That meant acquiring dozens of old Lipsticks and tearing them apart to uncover their “secrets”. The resulting reissue pickups are hot and sweet and sonically accurate to the originals.

Next we upgraded the tuners and bridges to make this guitar as fun to play as it is to listen to.
And to make it just as fun to look at, we combed old paint archives for just the right “retro” colors to capture the soul and spirit of this great guitar. We then plated all the hardware with “zero gloss” nickel.

And to be faithful to the Danelectro legacy, it is priced to be just as affordable as its 45 year old cousin. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed producing it.

Danelectro Pro Electric Guitars

Described a 'beautifully quirky', this is the first ever re-issue of the guitar that first appeared back in 1963, when wacky shapes were the order of the day. And with the neck set so deep into the paddle shape Masonite body which means that the bridge is pushed right to the back of the body to keep the scale length correct, 'wacky' is definitely the word – especially when you check out the triangular-esque scratchplate design too!

Elsewhere on the guitar though, it's business as usual, with twin alnico-powered Lipstick® case pickups with warmer spec windings for a sweeter tone and slightly hotter output.
Plus there's a fully adjustable and intonatable chrome plated raised-tail bridge, and six adjustable, enclosed gear machines.
Funky choice of colours, too. Choose the Pro and choose to stand out from the guitar crowd!
