I saw one of those orange ones exactly like on the beginning I did not buy it because mailing it in the 0° might not be so good by the time it got here and they didn't have a case does that come with a case?
I don't normally consider buying a guitar just from watching a YT video but this looks like a really cool instrument. I like how it does its own unique thing and doesn't try to be another generic LP, Strat or Tele.
@@martyshwaartz971 Dan Electro Mini amps are fun and the fly 3 sounds good under 100 there's also a tone of 100 dollar amps that sound great and if you hit up a pawn shop you can get an audio interface for cheap then Get a guitar simulator pack for like 50 bucks and you can get a ton of awesome sounding tones for cheap.
I have several strats and a couple lp's, I asked Santa (my wife) for a Dano stock 59 for Christmas a few years ago, and I got it. I loved it so much that I had to have the 57 Jade. I got it now as well, and my high end guitars sit around collecting dust!... I will eventually get the triple divine. Thanks for another great video!
I'm 71. The first time a guitar caught my eye was 8th grade, junior high. I'd walk past Muscara's music in Belleville, NJ, back around 1964 and see a Danelectro in the window (looked like today's Convertible model with the sound hole). Saw it every day. The seed of my interest in guitar. Parents bought me my first guitar at 15. Japanese with a neck thicker than a tree trunk. Painful. Been playing ever since (still a bit of a hack). Have numerous guitars now but never had a Danelectro. Have to get one before I croak to complete the circle. This one's a beauty, DB! That earthy sound is the tone I've been looking for. To me, it sounds better than most of the million dollar guitars you've featured. Too cool for school!
I had a Convertible that I bought in about 1988 not knowing the history of Danelectro. I just liked it because I could hear it unamplified and it wasn't as loud as my acoustic if I started bashing out Love and Rockets or whatever; thus, I could practice/play without disturbing family or college roommates. I sold it to a college buddy for 10 times as much as I had paid for it. He did know the history. It was a lot of money for me at the time, but I regret selling it to this day.
Wow! Definitely a different kind of animal. Those very first clean tones sounded like an amplified acoustic especially when you picked close to the bridge.
Great video! I just bought a Danelectro 59+ NOS the other day. Always loved the sound of those, but when I tried it, I was also very impressed by the build quality and feel. Nothing sits in the mix quite like a Danelectro!
Masonite was garbage siding in the 80's and swells when the material gets wet. Why would anyone want to invest in a guitar that costs the manufacturer a fraction to make compared to great woods. I would never pay for a guitar that is not 100% real wood. It's like Ashley Furniture, they look great but just below the surface is a weak man made material covered in a slick finish. Ground up material sold to anyone who gets caught up in the eye candy. If it looks like a guitar, plays like a guitar, it must be a guitar right? Why are they not lower in price than other brands made of expensive woods? Their profit margin is right where they want it to be. What's next HardiePlank?
I really like Danelectro guitars and remember the old ones ( long horn bass etc.) in the 60s. Anyway I bought my son a 56 U-2 from Korea in the 90s and Danos keep going up in value. Me, I've ben playing for 55 + years and wish I had one. It'll go into the family collection with my guitars when I pass in trust , in the hope my newborn grandson will play 'em all and love them. Great guitars. Interesting considering Nat Daniel's humble beginnings. They are now semi valuable.Rick Beato and Zac Childs recommend everyone has one in their arsenal.
Have a Dano 12-string with the f-hole (not the current ones). Always a fan of their double cut models. Reminds me a late-90s/early 2000s DC-3, except those had a rotary chicken head pickup selector and a “blow” switch for all 3 at once. Always odd seeing a Dano without the tape around the side though.
If it produces the sound you love, then yes it’s worth every penny.would love to ask the staff at Danelectro who the choice of material for the body …. Sound, production costs ?? Price point ????
Excellent as always Darrell , it has that sound that is unique, due to the structure of the guitar no doubt!Very cool unique tones for recording that special I don’t know what I want tone!
Seems they have some supply chain issues - they seem to be hardly any Danos in stock in EU with expected stock in like September 2023 at earliest ... :-/
Strangely enough, I don't find this guitar neither on trhe Danelectro product page, nor with any search engine. Do you have a linke to a kind of product page?
@DarrellBraunGuitar - Darrell - what would you say is the thickness of the neck on this '59 Divine Triple Lipstick Pickup? - Modern "C" or thinner? Like a Standard "C" - I like slightly thicker necks (i.e. Chunky "C") and wanted to ask you about this. Thanks D!
I love playing my Danelectro 59 Nos+, it is also a hollow body, with a block. I get some great sounds out of it and it also has a very flat fretboard. Makes it great for playing with a slide. This Triple Divine looks and sounds like a beauty.
It's an interesting guitar. Danelectro is making everything a bit different and the prices are not too expensive. I have to try out Danelectro guitars. Especially the baritone.
Traded away my '59MJ some time back, and regret it. Danelectro makes cool guitars that are, as you say, "different." Being hollow bodies, they're very light, and the lipsticks provide excellent tone. My only complaint was the location of the strap button, wedged between the neck and the body. I moved mine to make it easier to get the strap on and off.
I actually was given a single cutaway by a pal rescued from trash night Very vintage missing wood bridge I made and one of the best sounding guitars for recording I never played out w it Fender Gibson I thought it was and know was made cheaply but wow... amazing
I have a ‘58 with the kidney pickguard. Got it for 159 bucks and it’s the best guitar I own. Better than my gibsons and fenders. Even my silvertone is better. The other guitars are beefier. That’s all it is.
Am interested in a Danelectro but not sure about which model. Like the 59 NOS w/2 pickups but found the Convertable and like the similar sounds and acoustic option for practice etc. have you ever reviewed the convertible or have an opinion on it?
DANELECTRO is just FUN, DARRELL! Great features, tone and a quality guitar to play and enjoy all for Great values! Always love the “Dano” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is cool, sounds cool, manages to be different from everything without pissing anyone off. Gotta salute Dan E. Lectro for pulling that off. After slowing down the video to cut through that Canadien accent, it appears that DBG opines fondly on this guitar, too.
The clean tone at positions 3 and 4 was sweet: 5:54. It made those parts sweeter that you weren't trying to get so much jangle out of the guitar by picking right at the bridge.
Interesting tones. They had one (earlier version) at the music store here but it was hanging so far up the wall I couldn't get it down to try it LOL. (Rare to see not so major brands here in buttfknowhere).
I have a lifelong love of danelectro. I still play the same one that inspired all that. A 1959 dc3 deluxe. So yes I love it. I really like the independent stacked vol/tone controls with a master volume on my old one. But controls seem familiar and user friendly. Great videos and always appreciate what you do. Thank you!
I have a late 90's DC3 with the 6 way switching and blow switch. Surprised they didn't add a switch or push pull to mix the neck and bridge on this new model.
Every other industry: "What are we doing building our product with repurposed lipstick tubes? We've gotta make a proper enclosure!" Guitar industry: "METALLURGICALY RECREATE LIPSTICK TUBES."
I have a 10 year old D59 12 string, and until now never thought I would be tempted by a 6 string model. After seeing, and hearing, this I would consider chopping it in for this 3 pickup version. The bridge and bridge/middle positions seem to give all the jangle I love from my 12, and middle, middle/neck and neck variations that are chonkier and might support being driven. The only thing missing from the review is now the pickups are wired; in parallel or in series like mine and the originals. Neck or bridge only might need boosting it you set up volume for the middle 3 positions.
Can't find one? Check the used gear listings for a Danelectro DC3. Three lipstick tubes and a "varitone" type switch. I've had two in my life and sorry I sold the one in Blue Suede finish.
A 500k pot isn't "better" just because it's larger. It's actually worse to have 500 k pots with a single coil pickup. Just as it's not wise to use 250's with a humbucker. One pot is not "Better" than the other. It's about the effect.
Darrell, I watch your channel a lot, but I don't understand why you don't mention SCALE LENGTH. That, neck carve, and fretboard radius are super important to me (50+ year pro player). You say click on the link for specs but it's just a Sweetwater sales link.
Dano just released a 3 pickup version of the 59 Divine! Tones @ 3:57
Enjoy :)
Who sells them?
No tripple Divine shown in the link ....
I saw one of those orange ones exactly like on the beginning I did not buy it because mailing it in the 0° might not be so good by the time it got here and they didn't have a case does that come with a case?
I cant find it at Sweetwater or Danelectros own website.. do you have a unicorn?
One of the most unique sounding guitars in a long time....
Pretty cool to look at too...

My thoughts exactly. I think I’d prefer the two pickup version maybe.
Most do when you are playing them through a $3500+ head.

I've never been a Danelectro fan but that thing sounds amazing, so warm but also with high end jangle.

Not seeing this for sale anywhere. Not out yet?
Not even listed on the link you provided.
There is something about Danelectro guitars that makes them look like something out of a cartoon.
Cartoon hippopotamus head
They me think of the show The Jetsons for some reason.
Unlike Eastwood/Airline guitars...
Simple lines..!
60s cartoon
Wow! Definitely a different kind of animal. Those very first clean tones sounded like an amplified acoustic especially when you picked close to the bridge.
Expensive high end amps do that.
Some of the best tones you got on this channel. This guitar is so underrated.
I'm always impressed with how quiet lipstick pickups are.
You got to remind yourself once in a while that they are single coil pickups instead of humbuckers..
They’re generally pretty low output even for single coils. Just crank the gain if you want loudness. But them being quiet is nice in its own way
I have not seen that model available or advertised anywhere. Where can I find the triple specifically?
Expensive for a plywood guitar, no? Around 800eur.

I just saw a vid demo on the new Divine 12. Now I want one of those as well. $25 a month from Sweetwater. $700. Not bad.
Great chime and brings to mind so many classic 60 pop tunes
As a Danelectro dealer and I have these in stock, I have a honest question.... Do you (anyone reading this) feel it's worth $800?
If it produces the sound you love, then yes it’s worth every penny.would love to ask the staff at Danelectro who the choice of material for the body …. Sound, production costs ?? Price point ????

Bought my first electric guitar in 1959 from Sears & Roebuck. It was a Danelectro!
Love that guitar 🎸
Great looking guitar! I love the position 2 and 4 setting...strat like but lots of sparkle and chime. Thanks for another great review!
Yes, Excellent description.
Good description, it's occupying an in between space you've never thought of.

I want a DanElectro guitar but the Headstocks are so UGLY
Dang... I beg to differ. I really like the looks. Very slender and smooth

Not me. I look like I'm made of turds.

Add some fuzz and the pick ups distort in a way I’ve never heard before. You’ll think you’re playing for sonic youth!

I like the vintage wound pickups with jangle and chime but I'm not paying 550 bucks for a guitar without a wooden body.

Not a guitar: genius idea design .Note: some Danos- semi-hollowbody: not hard body. Neck unless otherwise mentioned is maple.

Nowhere to be found on their website or any stores. You'd think they'd have that already rocking and rolling.
Love this 59! I have $4K electrics but my 300$ U3 late 90's danelectro has so much personality. These 3-4 ohm low output PU's are amazing!
Yup agreed
Darrell your getting a spammer using your handle in the comments
Danelectro is what I point to to piss off tonewood snobs. Good old tone-engineered-wood-fibers
Unfortunately it sounds out of tune which could be due to dodgy strings or dodgy build.
The clean tone at positions 3 and 4 was sweet: 5:54. It made those parts sweeter that you weren't trying to get so much jangle out of the guitar by picking right at the bridge.
I have a 90's U2 reissue and I love it. Would lode to try one of these double cutaway models!
Where can I buy this particular model, please, I need it. I hate how overpriced Fender is right now.
I can’t seem to find this model in Danelectro’s website. Is this available to purchase?
The guitar is constantly falling out of tune during the demos. Why is that?
Certain guitars make you play a certain way....
I like and don’t like. Something is off with the treble or perhaps it wasn’t in tune.
I can’t find this guitar anywhere online but here!🥺 this is what I want…I don’t want a strat I want this!! Where can I find it???
The Dan Electro is the sound of the 1960s. There are just tons and tons of hit songs from that era that were played on a Dan Electro.
Interesting tones. They had one (earlier version) at the music store here but it was hanging so far up the wall I couldn't get it down to try it LOL. (Rare to see not so major brands here in buttfknowhere).
It sounds like a cheap guitar in its oun way something made in the sixtys
Can’t find this guitar available anymore
Daryl would be smiling as they were putting them in the guillotine
I'd like to see that with more switching options. A Brian May Danelectro wuld be cool!

Very cool. At this price point they're gonna sell a lot of these.

Such a unique guitar!
Thats a nice colour combo and looks a good playing instrument
Is it separate volume and tone controls???

Strat meets Rickenbacker. My NOS ‘59 blooms thru a Vox. Never should have sold the 12 string.
Cool, but a one or 2 trick pony
Excellent review, as always. But I'll take my Fender Classic Player Triple Telecaster over the Danelectro.
