A retro-inspired electric guitar with unmistakable Danelectro tone and style.
The Danelectro Glitter '59 brings together vintage design, unique construction and the signature sound that made Danelectro guitars cult classics. With its semi-hollow body, lightweight build and iconic Lipstick® single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers the bright, jangly tone that helped define early rock, surf and indie music.
Finished in striking Maroon Glitter with black body binding, the '59 blends retro aesthetics with modern playability. Its semi-hollow body with centre block provides resonance and character while reducing feedback, making it equally suited to clean tones, vintage rock and alternative styles.
Founded in 1947 by Nathan Daniel, Danelectro became famous for creating affordable but distinctive guitars using unconventional materials and clever engineering. Many classic models used hardboard (Masonite) bodies and unique "lipstick" pickups, originally made using surplus lipstick tubes from cosmetics manufacturers.
The brand became known for producing instruments that were simple, affordable and full of character, introducing generations of players to the electric guitar. Today, Danelectro guitars maintain their iconic retro tone and lightweight feel, making them favourites for indie, garage rock, surf and alternative music.
The guitar features two vintage-style Lipstick® single-coil pickups, a hallmark of Danelectro instruments. These pickups are known for their bright, jangly tone with clear highs and midrange character, perfect for vintage rock, surf, indie and alternative styles.
