Whilst the body shape of a twin neck guitar is often more about functionality than the aesthetics, the Danelectro 6-12 Double Neck combines both — the company’s classic ‘Dano’ art deco guise, with even more of the unmistakable soulful jangle from one guitar.
Based on the early Dano 59 short horn body style, the new Danelectro 6-12 string looks super cool in a beautiful Limited Edition White Pearl finish, offset with cream/black stacked Volume and Tone controls and chrome hardware.
Hardware that includes smooth operative chrome tuners on the standard 6 and larger 12 string ‘coke bottle’ headstocks, offering straight string-pull the full length of the 21-fret, polished rosewood fingerboards, via aluminium nuts to the fully adjustable bridges, with individual saddles for the octave 12 string.
Danelectro 12 string guitars have been described in the media as ‘one of the best sounding models available for the price’ and, now combined with a 6, complete with a quartet of high output lipstick pickups enhancing the natural acoustic characteristics of the semi-hollow body construction, the new Danelectro Twin Neck delivers serious single coil jangle, with twang, clarity and fast attack in abundance, that’s perfect for a host of styles, from surf to country, rockabilly to blues, pop and rock.
With its robust, size-defying lightweight construction and exceptional playability, the Dano 6-12 is perfect for studio sessions or live stage and arguably the lightest, affordable electric double neck guitar you can literally perform with all night.
Little did Nathan Daniel know when he started to produce electric guitars in the early 1950’s, just how many bona fide Rock Gods would owe their career move to Danelectro guitars, one of the few guitar brands that can truly be described as legendary, classic, iconic, retro, cool, hip and trendy.
