Danelectro '59 Divine Flame Maple Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar




Open the pearly gates! Danelectro® launched this in 1959, naming it the “Deluxe”. A huge understatement! This hot reissue features our Vintage 50’s Lipstick® Pickups, adjustable bridge, front and back binding, pointer knobs, and Gotoh® vintage 15:1 tuners.

We dissected, bisected and THEN resurrected the awesome tone and warmth of the 1950's Danelectro Lipstick Pickups. Magnets are sand cast Alnico 6, just like the old ones. The Lipstick tubes are 80-20 brass zinc, just like the tubes Danelectro bought from cosmetics maker Max Factor back in the day. These Vintage 50's Pickups kick out warm lows, searing mids, and sweet highs. These babies sing! You have never heard Danelectro until you have heard theses. Sonic Heaven!
