Danelectro '59M NOS+ Electric Guitar Keen Green
Weight: 6 LBS 6 OZ
 
Retaining the character of their classic guitars, the Danelectro '59M NOS+ electric guitar offers a wonderful sonic alternative to your other guitars. It boasts everything players love about the Danelectro '59, including the distinctive shorthorn shape, a fully adjustable wraparound bridge, and stacked tone/volume controls. And with a pair of NOS+ lipstick pickups, you've got the character of the original NOS pickups but with brighter highs, punchier mids, and more powerful lows. If you're looking for an electric guitar with a distinctive single-coil voice that pairs beautifully with overdrive, check out the Danelectro '59M NOS+ guitar.
Based on the sonic character of their original NOS single-coil pickups, the NOS+ pickups in this '59M NOS+ guitar have been optimized for hotter output and livelier tone overall — punchier lows and mids, and highs with more clarity and bite. They sound particularly amazing for bluesy slide work and pair beautifully with an overdriven tube amplifier.
The classic Dano look and sound may be every bit as familiar around the world as just about any other guitar design out there. It may have not sold the numbers other classic electric guitar designs have, but you've heard it on hundreds of records. The Danelectro '59M NOS+ captures this vibe for you in spades, and we're digging that vibe here at Sweetwater. Built with its feet firmly in the vintage design of the older Danos, the '59M NOS+ still offers you the ability to go from really old-school Nashville twang to modern fuzzed-out garage rock. And you'll look the part no matter what your tone calls for.
Like a great many vintage guitar designs, older Danos can sometimes fall victim to reliability issues. But you'll be able to gig your '59M NOS+ electric guitar without worry, thanks to modern updates that bring the guitar up to today's high-quality standards. You'll get great intonation up and down the neck with the intonation-adjustable wraparound bridge. And while it's unfortunately missing in the older instruments, you get an adjustable truss rod to make sure your Dano '59M NOS+'s neck stays straight and plays true.
