Danelectro 66T Sunburst

The Danelectro 66T features a Dual Humbucking Lipstick Pickup at the bridge and a Vintage Style Single Coil at the neck. The original lipstick-tube pickups were manufactured using surplus lipstick tubes that were bought from a cosmetics manufacturer, and featured on many original Danelectro guitars.

These surplus lipstick tubes, had the electronics inserted within and therefore made it the lowest cost guitar pickup in the industry at the time. These renowned pickups allow you to achieve a rich and round sound. The use of the dual humbucking lipstick pickup in the bridge position provides a powerful crunch. Whilst the neck single coil produces those bright and twangy tones.

Crafted With a Semi-Hollow Alder Body
Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. The alder body is perfect for playing a wide range of musical styles, with its excellent versatility. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange sets up the foundation of the guitar’s overall tone, allowing players to achieve the perfect sounds for most playing styles. The semi-hollow body is constructed with a centre block, enhancing the guitar’s overall resonance and sustain.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard
The Danelectro 66T neck is made from maple, which provides bright, twangy tones, with exceptional sustain and plenty of snap. The neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard that enhances the guitar’s tone with richness and dynamics, creating sparkling highs and firm lows.
