Danelectro '59M Spruce F-hole Buttercup electric guitar

General

The Danelectro '59M Spruce F-hole Buttercup electric guitar is a shorthorn, double-cut model with a spruce top that features an offset soundhole. This model combines the look, feel and sound of a Danelectro from the '50s with a more rugged construction. The bridge is fully adjustable and the machine heads have also had a serious upgrade. This modern classic is surely a must-have for fans of surf, punk, alternative and rockabilly music.

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 F-hole Buttercup is one of them!
