Danelectro '57 - Black #5901

A mid-'50s Danelectro U2 will set you back a pretty penny — provided you can even get your hands on one. Fortunately for players today, the modern Danelectro 57 brings all the style, flair, and tone of the originals to a high-performance modern instrument. The Dano 57's center-blocked, semi-hollow construction and Vintage '50s Lipstick pickups give you the spank, chime, grit, and chunk of a real-deal vintage original. Tone toggling and voice tailoring are easily done using the 57's rugged 3-way switch and space-saving concentric volume/tone controls. Cream-buttoned Gotoh tuning machines, a U3 intonatable saddle bridge, and a dual-action truss rod give the modern '57 a leg up on a true '50s model.
