Customer Review Summary
The Danelectro 59M NOS+ DC BK is a remarkable guitar that offers an outstanding quality-to-price ratio, making it an appealing choice for those seeking the iconic sound reminiscent of Jimmy Page, particularly for tracks like “Kashmir” or “White Summer”.
This instrument is not only aesthetically pleasing with its retro design, but it is also lightweight, enhancing its playability. Many users appreciate the NOS+ pickups for their fantastic sound and dynamic range, which deliver a unique character that is hard to match.
While some have noted that after a year of use, the potentiometers may not function as reliably, the overall build quality has seen significant improvements over the years. The adjustable bridge has addressed previous weaknesses, allowing for better tuning stability without compromising on the signature Danelectro sound.
However, there are some concerns regarding the construction, particularly with the volume and tone pots being sensitive to movement, which can affect playability. Additionally, the lipstick pickups, while offering a distinctive tone, may not suit all styles of music, especially jazz, as they can sound a bit thin in certain contexts.
Overall, the Danelectro 59M NOS+ DC BK is considered a professional-quality instrument at an unbeatable price. It has garnered a reputation for being a reliable and stylish addition to any musician’s arsenal, providing both comfort and a unique sonic experience.
