Danelectro '59M Spruce Chianti electric guitar

General

The Danelectro '59M Spruce Chianti has a beautiful deep red colour named after the Italian wine. It has a spruce top with an offset sound hole that enhances its vintage appearance and gives it a fuller, more balanced sound with an open character. Two '56 Lipstick single-coil picks are fitted to deliver the classic '50s Danelectro sound to your amplifier and a white pickguard completes this instrument's chic look. If you want an electric guitar that offers a distinctive look and sound, that's exactly what you get with the Danelectro '59M Spruce Chianti.

Danelectro

Danelectro was founded in 1946 by Nathan Daniel. Although the early models weren't much to look at, they were remarkably efficient. They had a wooden frame and a hardboard front and back, and the sides were finished with tape! Despite—or perhaps because of—this sober construction, these guitars possessed a characteristic sound that quickly gained popularity. Production ceased in 1968, but the brand made a comeback about 25 years later with guitars that had that same Danelectro sound, but with improved construction and hardware. The Danelectro '59M Spruce Chianti is one of them!
