Danelectro Fifty Niner DC Semi-Hollowbody Guitar - Jade Top Vintage Tone | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Danelectro Fifty Niner DC delivers the distinctive jangle, gristle, snarl, and soul that defined late-1950s rock 'n' roll with authentic vintage Lipstick pickups and classic Shorthorn body design. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar features lightweight hardboard and spruce construction that produces the signature Dano tone - vibrant and assertive warmth between a solidbody and traditional semi-hollow. Perfect for players seeking authentic vintage sounds, comfortable lightweight performance, and the unique character that made Danelectro guitars essential to early rock, surf, and alternative music.

Product Overview

The Fifty Niner DC recreates the magic of late-1950s Danelectro guitars with authentic construction methods and materials that deliver that unmistakable "Dano" sound. The lightweight hardboard top over spruce body creates a unique tonal character that's brighter than traditional semi-hollowbodies but warmer than solid guitars, giving you the best of both worlds.

The integrated center block effectively suppresses feedback while maintaining the acoustic qualities of semi-hollow construction, allowing seamless integration with pedals and effects. This design provides the vintage character you want without the feedback issues that can plague traditional hollow guitars in high-volume situations.

The iconic Shorthorn double-cut body shape provides excellent upper fret access while maintaining the classic aesthetic that defined an era of rock and roll. Vintage-spec Lipstick pickups deliver the bright, cutting tone with unique harmonic content that made these guitars the secret weapon of countless recording artists and alternative rock pioneers.
