The Danelectro Guitars 59-DC is one of two reissues of the Danelectro 3021 that was produced in 1998.  It was then later reissued in 2007, although this run of the 59-DC was very limited and was a bit different from the 1998 version, which is what is described here.  In fact, many players consider both the original and the 1998 reissue far superior to the 2007 version.  Just like the original 3021, both reissues come in a variety of different colors, including yellow, red, black, burgundy, copper, purple, and peach.

The 59-DC is a double cutaway guitar that features a seal pickguard, hollow inner cavity, and lipstick pickups.  The hollow cavity creates a very unique, very identifiable Dano sound that few other instruments have.  The body of the Danelectro 59-DC features a hardboard top and bottom and has a plywood frame.  The neck is made from maple and has a rosewood fingerboard.  It uses 50’s style Alnico magnet pickups, a Dano D stamped vintage tuner, and a bridge made from chrome with a rosewood saddle.  The instrument has a volume and tone control and a three-way pickup switch for neck, bridge, or both.  The Danelectro Guitars 59-DC 1998 reissue is a cool guitar for a fairly low price.
