Key Features
The Danelectro Vintage 12-String Guitar in Dark Aqua captures the unmistakable shimmer that made Dano 12-strings such legendary part of pop music history. Built in the classic Shorthorn shape and featuring the distinctive "S" sound hole, it delivers airy resonance and rich midrange chime straight out of the case. Designed to offer what many consider Danelectro's best-sounding 12-string voice, it combines retro styling with lively acoustic character that translates beautifully through an amp.
Loaded with a pair of '56 Vintage Lipstick pickups, this model produces bright, jangly highs with focused mids and a clear, defined low end. A fully adjustable 12-string bridge ensures accurate octave intonation, keeping complex chords tight and in tune across the fretboard. With its comfortable 25" scale length, 21 frets and straightforward control layout, the Vintage 12-String blends timeless tone with dependable playability. If you want vintage charm with modern reliability, you've found it.

The Vintage 12-String stays true to Danelectro's heritage with its iconic Shorthorn body and lightweight hollow construction. The addition of the distinctive "S" sound hole enhances the guitar's open, resonant voice while reinforcing its retro appeal. Unplugged, it offers a lively, sparkling response that naturally complements the shimmer of doubled strings. Plugged in, that acoustic liveliness adds depth and dimension to every chord, giving the instrument a character that feels both nostalgic and inspiring.
Equipped with two '56 Vintage Lipstick single-coil pickups, this 12-string delivers the signature Dano sparkle that helped define early electric pop and rock recordings. Expect crisp treble response, jangly upper mids, and enough warmth to keep the tone full rather than brittle. The three-way pickup selector allows you to move between neck warmth, bridge brightness or a balanced combination of both, all shaped through simple master volume and tone controls. It's a simple but versatile setup.
A fully adjustable 12-string bridge ensures each octave pair can be dialled in precisely, helping maintain tuning stability and harmonic balance across the neck. Clear intonation is essential for 12-string guitars, and this bridge design keeps chords sounding tight and articulate rather than muddy. Whether you're layering studio tracks or filling out live arrangements, the stable hardware supports confident performance. You can rely on the Vintage 12-String to sound sweet, song after song.
The 25" scale length and 21-fret layout provide a familiar feel while maintaining the snap and clarity needed for shimmering 12-string textures. The bolt-on neck offers solid attack and reliable sustain, making intricate chord voicings and melodic runs feel controlled and responsive. Finished in classic Dark Aqua, this model pairs timeless aesthetics with the unmistakable jangle and personality that only a Danelectro 12-string can deliver.
