Danelectro 63 Long Scale Bass Guitar, Red Burst

Back in '63, Danelectro's "model 1449" would soon become the rage of garage bands and pros alike. Why? Tone! Danelectro's pickups, ingeniously housed in lipstick tubes, quickly became known for their "signature twang." The guitar bodies were lightweight and featured a hollow inner chamber which made them sonically "alive"...unlike traditional solid bodies.

Fast forward 45 years. Danelectro re-issues this prized guitar...now calling it the Dano '63. Our first task in bringing back this great guitar was to replicate the 60s era Lipstick pickups. That meant aquiring dozens of old Lipsticks, tearing them apart, and uncoveing their secrets. The resulting reissue pickups are hot and sweet, and are soncially accurate to the original 60s pickups.

Next the tuners and bridge were upgraded, to make the guitar as fun to play as it is to hear! And to make it fun to look at, we combed the old paint archives for just the right "retro" colors to captured the soul and spirit of the original 60s instruments. We then plated all the hardware with zero-gloss nickel. And to be faithful to the Danelectro legacy, it is priced to be just as affordable as its 45 year old cousin! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed producing it.
