I saw one of those orange ones exactly like on the beginning I did not buy it because mailing it in the 0° might not be so good by the time it got here and they didn't have a case does that come with a case?
I don't normally consider buying a guitar just from watching a YT video but this looks like a really cool instrument. I like how it does its own unique thing and doesn't try to be another generic LP, Strat or Tele.
@@martyshwaartz971 Dan Electro Mini amps are fun and the fly 3 sounds good under 100 there's also a tone of 100 dollar amps that sound great and if you hit up a pawn shop you can get an audio interface for cheap then Get a guitar simulator pack for like 50 bucks and you can get a ton of awesome sounding tones for cheap.
I'm 71. The first time a guitar caught my eye was 8th grade, junior high. I'd walk past Muscara's music in Belleville, NJ, back around 1964 and see a Danelectro in the window (looked like today's Convertible model with the sound hole). Saw it every day. The seed of my interest in guitar. Parents bought me my first guitar at 15. Japanese with a neck thicker than a tree trunk. Painful. Been playing ever since (still a bit of a hack). Have numerous guitars now but never had a Danelectro. Have to get one before I croak to complete the circle. This one's a beauty, DB! That earthy sound is the tone I've been looking for. To me, it sounds better than most of the million dollar guitars you've featured. Too cool for school!
I had a Convertible that I bought in about 1988 not knowing the history of Danelectro. I just liked it because I could hear it unamplified and it wasn't as loud as my acoustic if I started bashing out Love and Rockets or whatever; thus, I could practice/play without disturbing family or college roommates. I sold it to a college buddy for 10 times as much as I had paid for it. He did know the history. It was a lot of money for me at the time, but I regret selling it to this day.
Wow! I love that position 2! 5:06 4:00 start clean tones 4:30 bridge pu 5:06 pos 2 5:47 quack 5:53 pos 3 6:19 pos 4 7:10 neck 7:55, 8:14, 8:34 a little dirt 8:53 chat
Wow! Definitely a different kind of animal. Those very first clean tones sounded like an amplified acoustic especially when you picked close to the bridge.
I have several strats and a couple lp's, I asked Santa (my wife) for a Dano stock 59 for Christmas a few years ago, and I got it. I loved it so much that I had to have the 57 Jade. I got it now as well, and my high end guitars sit around collecting dust!... I will eventually get the triple divine. Thanks for another great video!
Great video! I just bought a Danelectro 59+ NOS the other day. Always loved the sound of those, but when I tried it, I was also very impressed by the build quality and feel. Nothing sits in the mix quite like a Danelectro!
Excellent as always Darrell , it has that sound that is unique, due to the structure of the guitar no doubt!Very cool unique tones for recording that special I don’t know what I want tone!
The clean tone at positions 3 and 4 was sweet: 5:54. It made those parts sweeter that you weren't trying to get so much jangle out of the guitar by picking right at the bridge.
This is cool, sounds cool, manages to be different from everything without pissing anyone off. Gotta salute Dan E. Lectro for pulling that off. After slowing down the video to cut through that Canadien accent, it appears that DBG opines fondly on this guitar, too.
That middle pickup made me go whoa. Very good tone. I think what I love most about those tones is how different each pickup is. Neck pickup on a strat always just feels like a boring version of the bridge. This has a lot of tonal variety
I have a lifelong love of danelectro. I still play the same one that inspired all that. A 1959 dc3 deluxe. So yes I love it. I really like the independent stacked vol/tone controls with a master volume on my old one. But controls seem familiar and user friendly. Great videos and always appreciate what you do. Thank you!
I actually was given a single cutaway by a pal rescued from trash night Very vintage missing wood bridge I made and one of the best sounding guitars for recording I never played out w it Fender Gibson I thought it was and know was made cheaply but wow... amazing
I love playing my Danelectro 59 Nos+, it is also a hollow body, with a block. I get some great sounds out of it and it also has a very flat fretboard. Makes it great for playing with a slide. This Triple Divine looks and sounds like a beauty.
Traded away my '59MJ some time back, and regret it. Danelectro makes cool guitars that are, as you say, "different." Being hollow bodies, they're very light, and the lipsticks provide excellent tone. My only complaint was the location of the strap button, wedged between the neck and the body. I moved mine to make it easier to get the strap on and off.
Have a Dano 12-string with the f-hole (not the current ones). Always a fan of their double cut models. Reminds me a late-90s/early 2000s DC-3, except those had a rotary chicken head pickup selector and a “blow” switch for all 3 at once. Always odd seeing a Dano without the tape around the side though.
DANELECTRO is just FUN, DARRELL! Great features, tone and a quality guitar to play and enjoy all for Great values! Always love the “Dano” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's an interesting guitar. Danelectro is making everything a bit different and the prices are not too expensive. I have to try out Danelectro guitars. Especially the baritone.
I really like Danelectro guitars and remember the old ones ( long horn bass etc.) in the 60s. Anyway I bought my son a 56 U-2 from Korea in the 90s and Danos keep going up in value. Me, I've ben playing for 55 + years and wish I had one. It'll go into the family collection with my guitars when I pass in trust , in the hope my newborn grandson will play 'em all and love them. Great guitars. Interesting considering Nat Daniel's humble beginnings. They are now semi valuable.Rick Beato and Zac Childs recommend everyone has one in their arsenal.
I have a 10 year old D59 12 string, and until now never thought I would be tempted by a 6 string model. After seeing, and hearing, this I would consider chopping it in for this 3 pickup version. The bridge and bridge/middle positions seem to give all the jangle I love from my 12, and middle, middle/neck and neck variations that are chonkier and might support being driven. The only thing missing from the review is now the pickups are wired; in parallel or in series like mine and the originals. Neck or bridge only might need boosting it you set up volume for the middle 3 positions.
Your tone demos are getting better. The Danelectro sound really comes through. But you forgot to mention the amp, amp settings, mic, etc. And yes, lipsticks are quack machines. I wanted to see if you would say it. Its cool they reverse engineered old pickups to make a more vintage-correct pickup. Who would have thought a fiberboard guitar could sound so good?
You know, Darrell... I hear A LOT of country playing in your style. You're an overall excellent guitarist of course but I think you really excel in the country music style.
Darrel, if your keeping this guitar I’d love to see how a five way-five way - ten position switch would sound in it. I’m talking about the one a Stewart Macdonald for $48 dollars. I was given a Glary Strat, and set about tearing it down to upgrade it. We’ll, there were more problems with it than I could imagine, but if my health improves and I can stay out of the hospital I’ll finish putting that thing back together. There’s something about and all black Strat sitting next to an all white Tele that looks great! If I get it done I’ll post pics so everyone can see. What I mean.
If you think you'll like this guitar check out the Danelectro DC3 model, i was blown enough away to buy it instead! i couldn't wait for it to be released and found out the DC3 has something the triple devine doesn't, bypass to all three pickups at once
Interesting tones. They had one (earlier version) at the music store here but it was hanging so far up the wall I couldn't get it down to try it LOL. (Rare to see not so major brands here in buttfknowhere).
Strangely enough, I don't find this guitar neither on trhe Danelectro product page, nor with any search engine. Do you have a linke to a kind of product page?
@Darrell. Do you record in some sort of Faraday Cage? I'm always surprised/shocked how quiet the Single Coil Pickups are on the guitars you demo. I've never been able to avoid 60 cycle hum/noise anywhere I've lived, so all my pickups are Humbuckers, Noiseless, or Piezo.
I have a late 90's DC3 with the 6 way switching and blow switch. Surprised they didn't add a switch or push pull to mix the neck and bridge on this new model.
Seems they have some supply chain issues - they seem to be hardly any Danos in stock in EU with expected stock in like September 2023 at earliest ... :-/
Great demo Darrell! Could you review a guitar from Reverend? I've heard that these made in Korea/set up in USA guitars offer boutique quality guitars that are really good value for money!
What were you playing when showing off the tone of the bridge pickup?? I absolutely loved it! Did you improvise that, or is it from a song? Either way I have got to learn how to play like that!
I've got a Danelectro Jade and I love it. Aside from the unique tone, I find the guitar to be more playable than several other more expensive guitars I own. The triple divine is very, very tempting for this guitarist.
Are you aware your link to Sweetwater shows no 3 pickup models? A test run from an outside source would be a good idea. I watched this 1 day after you uploaded.
Darrell, I watch your channel a lot, but I don't understand why you don't mention SCALE LENGTH. That, neck carve, and fretboard radius are super important to me (50+ year pro player). You say click on the link for specs but it's just a Sweetwater sales link.
What about the vinyl tape used to hide the glue squirting out when they glued it together....I have an older Danolectric '56' U2 as cheesy the construction, it is amazing how well it plays and sounds, even with the crappy piece of wood on the bridge it does stay in tune. Plywood with glued masonite top and back .
