The distinctive F-hole adds vintage flair while enhancing the guitar’s airy acoustic response.
A bolt-on maple neck pairs with a pau ferro fingerboard for smooth playability and lively attack across the 25" scale length. Plug in and the twin Lipstick single-coil pickups unleash bright, chiming tones packed with midrange punch and treble snap. A fully adjustable 12-string bridge ensures accurate intonation, helping complex octave chords ring clearly and in tune. Finished in rich Tobacco Sunburst, it’s a timeless 12-string built for players who crave authentic jangle.

This model captures the vintage look, feel and tone that defined Danelectro’s early success. The hollowbody Shorthorn construction uses a spruce body with a hardboard top, keeping the instrument lightweight while enhancing its naturally resonant character. Unplugged, it offers a lively response with sparkling overtones. Onstage or in the studio, that acoustic liveliness translates into the unmistakable Danelectro chime that has shaped countless recordings. The addition of the F-style sound hole reinforces its retro appeal and contributes to its open, airy tonal personality.
The pair of Lipstick single-coil passive pickups are at the heart of the '59 12-String’s voice. Built around Alnico VI magnets and wrapped in tape in true vintage fashion, they deliver a tone that stands apart from modern designs. Expect jangly highs, focused midrange punch and a crisp treble edge that cuts through a mix. The three-way selector switch and master volume and tone controls allow you to shape everything from bright, chiming rhythms to fuller, blended textures.
Maintaining accurate tuning across 12 strings demands precision hardware. This guitar features a fully adjustable 12-string bridge with individual saddles, allowing you to fine-tune intonation for each octave pair. The result is improved clarity across the fretboard, keeping chords tight and defined. Whether you’re layering studio tracks or performing live, stable tuning and consistent pitch response are essential, and this bridge design delivers dependable performance.
The bolt-on maple neck offers a comfortable playing experience with clear note attack and balanced sustain. Paired with a pau ferro fingerboard and 21 frets, it provides a responsive surface that makes navigating 12 strings feel natural and controlled. The 25" scale length adds snap and articulation, complementing the guitar’s bright tonal character. Combined with classic aesthetics and practical hardware, the '59 12-String is a distinctive instrument built for expressive, vintage-inspired performance.
