Danelectro 59M NOS+ Orange Metalflake

I've heard people rave about Danelectros for their uniqueness and I've also seen people a bit disappointed in them, so I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get. However, it's been way better than I expected. It's very lightweight, the neck is very playable (sort of a thin C shape), the lipstick pickups are really nice and twangy, and have their own vintage sound. But, it's the orange metal flake finish that really sells it for me. It's stunning, especially under artificial light. I look at this and immediately just want to play it.

I also have a MIM strat and a PRS SE and it's fair to say that the build quality of this isn't quite up to that standard, but in all honesty it's not bad. I was half expecting it to be in bits, and it just wasn't. It's well put together and played nicely straight out of the box. The aluminium nut did creak a bit when bending on the B and high E strings but I went over the nut slots in pencil and that solved it no problem.

It's just a really fun guitar. If you're gigging constantly maybe it's one to stay away from as it isn't as robust as other brands but for me it's a perfect addition. Looks great, sounds great, and their is nothing quite like it. For the price, it's great value. If you get it, I imagine you'll love it.

Reibungsloser Versand (international), ausgepackt, eingestimmt und abgehoben. Gute Verarbeitung, Kein Makel im Lack, kein falscher Schnitt im Vinyl, gutes Set-up, traf meinen Geschmack in der Actionhöhe, das ist natürlich ein großes Plus aus der Box.

Manchmal schnarrt die A Saite bei beherztem Anschlag, auch das ist mir durchaus sympathisch, nicht jedermanns Sache, klar.
Könnte sicher mit einem angehobenen Sattel gelöst werden. Auch das ist cool: die Einstellungen, so sie denn gemacht werden müssten, sind einfach zugänglich.

Toller Sound - war klar, oder? Ist ja ´ne E-Gitarre ;-)

Premetto che il suono della chitarra è spettacolare. La qualità no. Il bordo in vinile si è iniziato a scollare nei pressi dell attacco del manico dopo una settimana di utilizzo. I potenziometri stacked non si possono usare individualmente:Il movimento del controllo del tono fa muovere simultaneamente anche quello del volume. Il setup di fabbrica di basso livello: i cantini in prima posizione non suonavano. Peccato.
