It’s an ingenious semi-hollow build that’s stood the test of time: a spruce body frame capped with hardboard paired with a center block that eliminates feedback. The Fifty Niner’s nuanced resonance and tonal range give this guitar a unique edge for everything from vintage rockabilly blues to modern indie faves. Plus, cream body binding and a chocolate back give the Fifty Niner DC veritable retro appeal to match.
The Fifty Niner DC is known for its jangly mix-cutting midrange, but the onboard Lipstick pickups can dole out a wide assortment of vintage-tinged tones. The bridge pickup is your go-to for jangle and leads with focused bass, punchy midrange, and treble that’s spicy or sweet (depending on tone knob settings). The neck Lipstick pickup provides enhanced low-frequency gristle that fills sonic space and comes to life when played clean or driven. Turning both pickups on reveals a unique aspect of Danelectro wiring — series wiring in the middle position. Compared to the parallel wiring found on most electric guitars, the Fifty Niner’s series-wired position produces an extra-beefy tone with roaring bass/midrange response and less treble.
Today, Danelectro ‘50s pickup specs read like diligent recitations of the originals. Inside, Alnico VI magnets uniquely wrapped with coil and tape make these pickups sound as authentic as they look. Outside, the chrome covers are made from 80/20 brass zinc, just like the tubes Danelectro bought from a cosmetics factory back in the day, a detail that proves the Fifty Niner is a fully worthy heir of a legendary sound.
