Item in good condition (small marks or scratches)
The Danelectro '59 Divine six-string guitar is a stunning homage to the iconic 'Deluxe' model first introduced in 1959. This modern reissue faithfully preserves the charm and character of the original while incorporating key upgrades that enhance its performance and versatility. A testament to the enduring popularity of Danelectro's unique designs, the '59 Divine exudes vintage appeal and delivers unmistakable tone.
Its distinctive double-cutaway, short-horn body shape, and art-deco aesthetics evoke the golden age of electric guitars, but it's the sound and playability that truly stand out. The guitar features a pair of upgraded Vintage 50’s single-coil lipstick pickups, which retain the original USA wiring and utilize sand-cast and sand-blasted Alnico 6 magnets housed in thin-wall 80/20 brass/zinc tubes. This design delivers a tonal spectrum characterized by warm, open low-end, rich mids, and the unmistakable high-end chime that has become synonymous with Danelectro guitars.
The '59 Divine offers effortless playability with a slick neck and a smooth 21-fret rosewood fingerboard, ensuring comfort for players of all styles. A precision-cut bone nut, a fully adjustable bridge, and Gotoh vintage-style 15:1 machine heads provide accurate tuning stability and intonation, making this guitar as reliable as it is stylish.
Aesthetically, the '59 Divine lives up to its name with three stunning finishes: Dark Walnut, Flame Maple, or Fresh Cream, all accented by front and back cream body bindings. The cream and brown stacked pointer knobs for volume and tone controls, as well as the matching cream headstock, complete the vintage-inspired look.
Perfectly suited for genres ranging from surf and country to rockabilly, blues, and rock, the Danelectro '59 Divine isn't just a guitar—it’s a piece of musical history brought back to life, offering a timeless design and a sound that continues to inspire guitarists worldwide.
