What a unique voice. Surprising sustain for a guitar of this cost and construction. The bridge design is a major improvement over the original, I think. (I had one 50 years ago) It was set up fine on arrival, but I've set it up to slide and fingerpick. ( The neck is sturdy enough that putting on 11s and tuning to open E worked as a compromise setup for fretting and slide use without… read more adjusting relief.) Both pickups is by far the best selector setting. Volume knobs are reasonably responsive. Tone knobs are not— most of the change happens in 10% of the range. So, you can set and forget but changing on the fly is awkward. This guitar's voice is very well suited to slide, especially into a class A tube amp. I am quite happy.
Nice guitar. Jangle city.
The guitar was setup perfect right out of the box. Very playable. The '59M NOS has a sound of it's own. Similar to a single coil tele or maybe some Filter'Tron type pickups. Not piercing but jangly. I have short, fat, fingers and the neck is comfortable enough for me. I would say the guitar is not made for death metal but more blues/rock/funk sort of thing. But I'm sure you can… read more paly whatever you want on it. Overall, I recommend this to anyone looking for a unique style/sounding guitar that is extremely playable for their collection. This is the second Danelectro that I own and both are excellent.
