From the fantastic lipstick pickups to the weird particle board body and sixties-kitch tape binding, a Danelectro 59 is no ordinary guitar.
It never has been, and this is how it has earned its place in the hall of fame of music. Because a Dano sounds different, plays different, and demands to be approached and played differently, which in turn inspires different sounds, solutions and different chords, melodies.
The really rudimentary semi-wooden bridge of the original 59 is replaced, in this model, by a much more precise and precisely manufactured wrap around type metal bridge, and the really enjoyable neck & nut seem more playable and again more precisely engineered & manufactured that what I remember from the vintage ones back in the day.
So not only the 59M NOS+ is a somewhat bettered Dano, it also is the real deal , because there is no "custom shop" or "professional" or "Made in XY" overpriced supposedly superior option on offer - it's just Danelectro, at its best.
