Quirky guitar brand Danelectro, has a number of new models available this summer.
The new additions include a 12-string electric; hollow body electric and a baby sitar.
12 String
12-string DC59-12 models feature the classic Danelectro double cutaway shape, augmented with an F-hole semi-acoustic top, and lipstick single coil pickups, available in cherry or tobacco sunbursts for £499.
’63
The DG63 range has been reintroduced with new colours and the new 56 Lipstick pickup that closely matches the tones of 1950’s Danelectros. Constructed using the traditional Danelectro frame body with masonite back and top, with double offset cutaway styling and choice of black, red sparkle burst, turquoise and red metal flake finishes, it retails around £499
Convertible
Meanwhile, more semi-acoustic tones abound with the brand new DCV56 Convertible – again the 56 Lipstick pickup has been matched to a slightly deeper hollow body, with the addition on a Piezo bridge pickup meaning you can switch between or combine acoustic and electric tones at the turn of a dial. Available in black, white or tobacco sunburst it retails for £599.
’67
With its cool offset body shape and neck, the DG67 Danelectro guitar easily captures that unmistakable twang in an eye-catching shape and range of finishes including Aqua, Yellow, Red and black for only £499.
Baby Sitar
The DBS68 Baby Sitar with its rounded ’thermometer’ body and headstock, it is tuned like a regular six string guitar, but produces mystical, eastern tones thanks to its Gotoh Sitar bridge. Complete with the obligatory lipstick pickups it retails for around £599.
