Description
The '59 Dano reissue electric
guitar is based on the guitar model first
released in 1959 and sold through the
mid-'60s. Just because this guitar is
inexpensive and a tad outr doesn't
mean it's not a serious
instrument.
The '59 Dano guitar features professional-level playability,
intonation, and electronics. The '59 Dano
is a guitar that will
withstand the rigors
of the road and continuous stage work
in addition to inviting curious glances
and knowing nods of approval.
The '59 Dano comes in finishes
inspired by classic car colors of
the
day and have zero gloss,
which helps convey the retro vibe.
The glossless colors, swooshing
pickguard, lipstick pickups, ridged
knobs, and vertical headstock logo
all help to create the immediate
impression that this is an instrument from another time.
The body is a double-cutaway,
and features the familiar plastic
tape that runs around the edge
of the guitar. Originally, this was
to hide the seam in the two-piece
body construction. Modern Dano's
are not made
using this clamshell
method anymore, but the tape remains,
as it is such a distinctive part of the
look. The tape is affixed using a
self-adhesive, and is aged with a
shellac to give it a slightly brown-streaked
or discolored look which adds to the
vintage vibe. The pressed-particle
pickguard is covered in the same
material and cut precisely to fit.
The Alnico pickups are the lipstick
variety, and have the same design as
the ones that appeared in the '50s,
when actual lipstick tubes
(purchased from cosmetics
makers) were used to house
the electronics. One modern
improvement is the bridge, which,
on the reissue, is capable of being intonated.
Also an improvement over the
original is the tuners, which are die
cast and hold the tuning well. The nut
is made of aluminum and contributes to
the twanginess and uniqueness of tone
that the Dano's were known for.
In addition to sitting in a nut slot,
the nut itself is
screwed into the top
edge of the fingerboard.
The playability is one of the most
impressive aspects of this guitar”
the action is low enough for velocity
playing, yet was buzz-free on
every fret. The neck is not speed-demon
shallow, but its depth adds to
the sustain,
tone, and general feeling of substance.
The '59 Dano's pickups are bright
and sparkly, but not shrill.
