Danelectro has created the Danelectro 59-DC ‘O’ Psychedelic guitar based upon one of Eric Clapton’s go-to guitars. The 59-DC ‘O’, like the other Danelectro guitars, features their simplistic design. The guitar sounds more like a Stratocaster than anything else, so you won’t find incredibly fat tones here. That’s OK, though, because you will find tones that sound totally retro. The 59-DC ‘O’ also has something of an old sound, giving it a very unique, different kind of tone than you might get from another instrument.
The Danelectro 59-DC ‘O’ Psychedelic guitar features a masonite semi-hollow body with a plywood frame. The neck is made from maple and is bolted on. It has a rosewood fingerboard with a 14 inch radius, an aluminum nut, and 19 medium frets. The guitar uses vintage Kluson-style tuners and has a hard-tail bridge with rosewood saddle. It has volume and tone controls plus a three-way selector switch. There are a number of different options you can select for your 59-DC ‘O’. The unpainted version is a bit less vintage but is cheaper, while the fully decked out guitar is upwards of 399 pounds. As far as the finish goes, each Danelectro 59-DC ‘O’ Psychedelic is hand painted in various psychedelic colors and patterns, so you’ll have a unique instrument that looks just as crazy as it sounds.
The ’67 Hornet Guitar by Danelectro Guitars is a great relic guitar that was reissued in a very limited run by Danelectro. 
The guitar was also a limited model back when it was originally released, so Danelectro is staying faithful to the history of this great relic guitar. Just like the original, the company expects these reissues to sell out very quickly and to become a collector’s item. The ’67 Hornet Guitar is available in a number of different colors, all of which were available in 1967 when the Hornet was first produced. They include red, orange, black, limey (green), cobalt blue, and butterscotch.
The Hornet relic guitar features a solid basswood body and is done in the classic Dano construction style. The maple neck features an adjustable truss rod located at the headstock, and the tremolo is an original Danelectro. Both the bridge and the fingerboard are made from swivel rosewood, and the guitar also features some neat souped-up lipstick pickups. An aluminum nut, plastic knobs, and 10 gauge strings finish up the stats on this great relic. Danelectro actually recommends changing those strings out for an 11 gauge because of the tremolo bar. One of the great things about the ’67 Hornet is that the company has done their best to make it completely affordable to everyone—the guitar is only $399 if bought directly from Danelectro.
