Danelectro is like that one kid we all went to high school with that was wierd af but would also do crazy things that we swore only he could do and he made us laugh our asses off so we always partied with him.
Bro ❤️
bit cringe but ok
Buccarado okay
Bro shut up
@@RicksLicks Bro lighten up troll
the sound at 6:52 basically cemented the fact that i’m buying one of these as soon as possible
My thoughts also, totally not the image of Baltic sea death-metal but would work! Id paint it, n feel the chill.
Honestly not into it. It sounds like I’m listening to my next door neighbor crank out dad rock, through 6 walls.
How could you open it and let it sit for a month!! Dude's got self control.
DADGAD tuning.. Ahh yeeahh, we know what song is coming.
Scotty C lol I was thinking the same thing. "C'mon dude, you did tuning for one reason/band"
Hell, he’s only even heard of that guitar for the same reason....what’s next? A Supro amp demo?
DFM Bass kashmir
Tananan tananan tan tananan tanana tan tanana tan tanana
The only reason anyone has ever used that tuning
What the hell? A proper bridge?
Hey! I never comment really on anything I watch, but I want to thank you for continued awesome content. Your demeanor and love for music shine through when you are sharing knowledge, opinions and ideas. I appreciate all you do, as a viewer, a player and lover of music.
Thanks for putting stuff out there that allows us all to sharpen our perspective!!
You forgot to mention that the middle position is actually both pickups in series! That's probably why that was your favorite setting.
This video makes me want to get one of these for my mum. Affordable, pretty, unique! She can't play, but if i get the money, you've made me a fan.
Watching your videos makes me happy. You're so enthusiastic and that makes me enthusiastic about the topic as well. You're living the dream. Hard work pays off.
Great review buddy! I’ve had a Danelectro Hodad Baritone for 17 years! The one with three pickups! Love it!
I’ve had a 56 reissue for about 17 years now and I still love playing it. It was my first electric and I’ll never part with it. I think it’s an incredibly comfortable guitar to play, it has a look and sound all its own. Also it’s nice to practice on because it has a decent sound unplugged. Some may say they’re ugly or that they’re a cheap toy, but at least Danolectro is keeping it real and giving the player something unique.
That's a cool color for the sound palate. I kept wanting to hear it with different slides. Cool.
I'm a drummer... I can appreciate what the Danelectro sound causes you to feel for the music.
Funny. I'm a 35 yr. former semi pro drummer. Every thing he played I put a rhythm to in my head! I just can't get drums outta me no matter how much I wanna learn guitar!
Used to have an original one years ago. Great guitars! Cool to see a reissue. That bridge makes that reissue much easier to setup. Mine you couldn't intonate.
It's not difficult to set the intonation on the rosewoods. Pain in the arse, but doable.
With them being uncompensated, it's not perfect, but close enough for Rock'N'Roll goodness. Who plays a Danelectro above the twelfth without a slide anyway?
I've made intonated rosewood saddle replacements for Danos. No biggie.
But it's always easier to just bash them and complain.
I can't remember who coined the term or where I first heard it, but this is a great example of a "soundtrack" guitar: something with a sound a bit out-in-left-field and a vibe and texture that eludes Strats, Teles, LPs, and other "mainstream" guitars. I'm a big believer that every gear-crazy, GAS-afflicted guitar player should have a "soundtrack" guitar.
i dont really like the idea that people imply that danelectro is "that weird guitar that you bring out sometimes". its a great sound, nothing wrong with using it as a main guitar
It's too.. ringy? Not exactly bright or thin. And i think it produces some cool tones. But this guitar wouldnt be your first pick for 90% of music. As your 4th 6th whatever guitar? heck yes
I have a Jazzmaster for that reason. Very unique, great for chords and anything surf, rockabilly or experimental. The vibrato really makes it shine. I use it way more than I thought I would though, it's my second fave guitar behind my guild s100
Nice, I never heard the "soundtrack guitar" term either until just now, and being that I have always wanted a Dano DC59, and love movie soundtracks, I think I need to get one of these asap lol.
And in black of course, so I can play a little of "Midnight Moonlight" before segueing into "Kashmir."
Absolutely amazing. That’s my next guitar. Beautiful sound.
The pickup placement on those is quite unique...the neck pup is closer to a middle and the bridge pup is super close to the wrap around...especially the treble strings...I've been playing on and off since 1965 and I've never even held a Dano...but I like em'. LOL:)
You're living my dream, Phillip.
Great Review Phil! The best I’ve seen on this Model.
Hey Phil, Just want to say thanks for your videos, I've watched a bunch of them.
This is the BEST Danelectro review I have seen for the 59m. I have been sitting on the fence about purchasing a 59M-12. This review sold me on it. Thank you.
MUST HAVE NOW!!!! Used to work at a shop where we sold the reissues when they were first coming out. Kind of like a moped. Fun to ride til your friends see you on it (More to that joke, but thought I'd clean it up). These newer ones are absolutely a must have for collectors of the different or wierd like me. Starting the hunt as we speak. Keep bringing the different to us, Crazy what's out there the rank and file of us don't get to see. Thanks!
Once again a great video. I always appreciate the reviews of gear that you put out.
Great video, Phil. Your work continues to amaze.
My god, this guitar is beautiful!
I love the color, the shape, the sound!
Been waiting for this! Guitars been on my radar for quite sometime now, great review Phil.
When I was a little kid taking guitar lessons in the 1960's, the music school had a Dan Electro on display in their front window. I drooled over that guitar, but this one looks to be much better.
Hi Phillip! Cool drink coasters... oh and decent guitar, too lol.
Love those Danelectros... even though I don't have one. Really dig the Mosrite-patterned versions they offer. Thanks Phil. Enjoying these earlier vids!
Great video. You have a way of breaking things down. Rock on Phil!
I plugged in a dan electro once, fell in love with it. And its priced pretty competitively! Definitely my next guitar.
I clicked "buy" 4 minutes after seeing this video. Love the guitar!
LOL Im thinking the same thing
Lol nice, hope it is still going strong
Awesome review Phil! I aspire to reach this level of review.
I LOVE Danos, and I have a slightly earlier modal of this as well as the 64. They are great guitars with a unique sound. This is one of the best demo/reviews of a Danelectro guitar I have ever seen. Great work Phil.
Thanks Phil for the informative video on the Dano. The bridge pickup (in standard tuning that you demonstrated) sounds very much like a “Jerry Reed” kind of tone. Very cool!
1:55 My center-block Gretsch with Bigsby is definitely a boat anchor compared to my Dano. I love 'em both though!
Interesting and unique. I love the extra long matching headstock. Agreed, the middle position seems to give the best tone.
Sick! I never expected this kid of video. I've own this model (except in Seafoam) and I love it! I've put mirrors on it to give it the Syd Barrett aura.
Sick vid bro! Lots of love from the UK.
Great job with Zeppelin Phil... That is a cool guitar.
Uh oh. I was looking up light weight guitars and found your review. I already bought an amp on your recommendation for 350 bucks. This just pushed me over the edge. Linking to it now and buying it! Thank you as always my dude.
That guitar is gorgeous. I tracked this video down after seeing it on the wall .
That room is music goals for life seriously lol also great vid!
Had a Danelectro I had to part with, but I've always loved them. Even their 'bad' years don't get the props they deserve. Unique guitars and underrated.
Great over view... Your song choices really showed off it's special tone.. Very cool guitar.
Cool review and I as well never owned one but now I'm thinking maybe I should !
i love the danelectro headstock because it looks like if a tele was 3x3, i think that's why i find it so endearing
Awesome that yours has the updated bridge. I have one of the first reissues, from the late nineties, with the lousy strip-of-wood bridge. Need to replace that and the input jack, then set it up to play slide. DADGAD is fantastic on these guitars.
I have a 1448 Dano made "Silvertone". Great guitar....super cool tone...and the amp still work (though you have to be careful with it). Love it! Glad to see the much improved bridge design.
That cool guitar has its own vibe. I’m going to check one out next time I see it in a guitar store.
Great video. Awsome guitar. Are there any other brands which make different styles like that, other shapes, classic styles, and all?
Was checking this out because I got a NOS+ version. Love the demo. You are right they are great guitars. The reason the guitar "comes alive" in the middle position is because, unlike Teles or Les Pauls, the two pickups are wired in series not in parallel making the sound louder and darker, than if it was parallel.
That Garage Grunge Tone was great. Gotta love the delta clean.
What a sound! 😍
Played one today… in love instantly! It’s the NOS+ version. Thinking an Easter purchase may be in order…
Trying to undue some of the damage The Captain and Chappers inflicted?
lol my mind went there immediately. those guys really didnt give dano a fair chance.
That video actually made me like the Danos even more, one of the best sounding jams they had in a long time. :p
Just watched that video. Shocking just how unprofessional those two were.
They just didn't get it did they. Lipstick pick ups on a Masonite body just produces something unique and wonderful. Pure clean sounds which make them the best sounding electric rhythm guitar of all time (probably). The Anderton twins have never heard the word 'rhythm' innit...... Lol
They are incapable of making any guitar sound good. And the humor got stale.
I saw one at the guitar shop today!
Love those!!! $399 on Amazon and available in many colors!!! Totally retro!!! Great video, Phil!!!
You just retconned the Andertons vid. This makes them look great. Good review.
Ive always like these at stores, I may pick up the 12 string..
very informative demo
Excellent review! I have a Dano that I bought when they first started reissuing them. I should check out a new one. Maybe for a future video you can discuss alternative tuning in more detail. Something new to explore... Thanks again for your YT channel!
man always wanted to buy one of these ever since the n.o.s. reissues of the early 90's, does seem that the improvements you pointed out make for a better Dano.
I really love mine. Picked it up a couple of months ago. Local pawn shop for 135.00. Really cool for slide.
Thank you for doing this guitar justice. I swear Anderton's doesn't know what a chord is.
Cabby Cabby I enjoy andertons videos for entertainment, but after several years of viewing without them ever NOT liking something, and then their claims of the Marsha!l dsl40c ending, I don't really trust their videos.
There best video is when they review the fretless guitar. They're both drunk. They spend 20 minutes saying how the guitar is quite shit. Then at the end of the video realise that it has been way out of tune all along!
Well they dont usually cover cheap cardboard guitars like Danelectros
Andertons is an amazing channel Lee and Pete are awesome. Both entertaining and great players
One of my first guitars was a 90s reissue Danelectro U2. Its a great first guitar because it’s just the right volume unplugged when you wanna practice thanks to the hollow body. Alas, upper fret access isn’t the best but, one should be able to access all 5 pentatonic boxes easily enough.
Thanks so much for doing this vid - I fuckin' LOVE Danelectros! The DC59m nos will do me! Just had to adjust the bridge and pick up heights. I'm in love with these guitars!
Dude! Based on your review I bought the exact guitar you review here. I love it. It's my 8th guitar! I'm impressed by the quality and the sound. My action was low. I didn't get the coasters nor the strings. I did get the poster. It does "come alive" in the middle position. I managed to pick it up for $350 new. It doesn't come with a case and Dan Guitars doesn't make cases. Thanks!
I have one of these things (black) and it is really fun to play! It has this clunky retro look to it which I love, kinda sounds like a hollow telecaster -- maybe a little more trebly on the bridge pickup and deeper on the neck pickup (I'd say usable for jazz if you like). The guitar cost me under $500 (a few years ago) and is well worth it. I got the idea to play one from the guitarist in Southern Culture on the Skids. I really like the way it looks because few people play them -- they look so sears silvertony 60s like.
It clearly shows that every guitar can bring something new to the table😀👍
Just out of curiosity, what do you think about the Danelectro DC3 with the select-o-matic switch?
Hey Phil... I will be receiving my 59M NOS shortly (Orange) .. late Xmas present... in no small part to your video here!!!!! I also heard you mention the Fractal AXE FX II a few times.. I am completely into them. The learning curve is high but once you have it underfoot it is awesome. Easily the best piece of equipment I have ever owned, Marshall, Boogie,, Big Rack setups, wet/dry rigs....it is top notch!! So.. I thought I might whip up a video to send to you if you wanted to do some kind of A/B comparison on your channel.. Just something fun... If you want to try something different content wise combining the Axe FX and the Dano.. If there is no interest... No big deal... LMK.... Loving the channel by the way......
that middle position with the boost...love it! could seriously belt out some awesome tones. I'm thinking something like 1987-1991 They Might Be Giants twang. Speaking of -- happy birthday to John Flansburgh!
I see your using a Dava pick. ☺ Those are my favorite picks too. I used all different kinds untill I started using Dava.
Bought the "Sweetwater Edition" about a year ago...antique white with a black "seal" pickguard. Had to have it...I learned to play my first song on my uncle's Silvertone version in the 60's.
That new bridge is a game changer. I had the "older" version and got rid of it because of the flimsy bridge system. The nut was aluminum and the neck heel joint was pretty flimsy too. Was like a cheap banjo ... couldn't keep'er in tune. Good vid Phil.
"Makes me want to play full open chords but electric" I have told many people the same thing about my 59! It has a strum quality that most electric guitars don't capture I love it, great video thanks!
have always dug those guitars, never owned one
Real nice review, excellent guitar and unique tone
They are very unique. I'd love to have one with sparkly finish.
Woah it sounds a lot better than I expected
I picked up a black one last year. I love it!!
Sounds fantastic...amazed.
I got the 12 string Dano and love it. It's got jangle to the moon at 1/5 the price of the next closest 12 string.
It has the sound from "Bush - Glycerine", I want one of these!
hi phil ! great video, i've just discovered your channel, and i'm binge watching atm ;) I would like to ask you something : I have a good mahogany luthery (Ibanez Art90 3+3 headstock) on which i replaced the ceramic humbuckers with alnico 4 ones, but my tuners are very cheap and innacurate... I'd like to replace them with good lock tuners, which ones do you recommend ? I was thinking about the Grover Rotogrip 102 18:1 ratio ?
Hi, do you have any know your gear tshirts with the guy rocking out with his guitar, as opposed to the one just standing there with his guitar, and giving the rock on sign? Thanks.
Hooray for hardboard! Who'd a thunk it? Lol. Nice one Phil. Loving that cokebottle headstock shape too. So cool.
6:40 Phil becomes 11 years old again, THIS is why we play guitar XD
Wow nice sounding Guitar Thanks Phil : )
I have a 56 U2 in Red Crackle. I love it...second I got mine home, I also tuned down to play Kashmir. Fun guitars, enjoy!
I dig the Dava pick. I used the same yellow one for a long time.
I have a U1, a baritone, and a U3, bought in that order from 99-02. Love them all.
My 5 guitars. Fretlight , Danelectrol , Rickenbacker , PRS , and Yamaha acoustic.
Very clear video - what camera are you using these days?
I got a Dano baritone at the pawn shop... late 90's re-issue. I fixed it up and sold it to a friend. It was fun.
Love the strings stay straight right up to the tuners. It looks like there's not arch to the head stock, which is also awesome!
Great looking, great sounding, and great designed axe.
Jack
Canada that's - C aye N aye D aye
Thanks for the video Phil! I would love to hear this vs. The 66. I want a danelectro but not sure which one...im torn between the 64(the same as a 66 with a bigsby?), the 59, and the u2
I have a U2 reissue and I'm not crazy about the pots. I like your idea about changing them to just a volume and a tone pot. Any suggestions where I could look online to help me figure out how to do it?
Good demo, thx for posting this. What a sharp git! I'd abuse it for Brit Invasion/ 1966 garage rock purposes, lol! I should get one. Can't get over how futuristic and stylish...salivates..
I have a 1960 U-1 with silvertone branding, man this is fun guitar, perfect couch guitar because it sounds great in-amplified.
