A swinging guitar with a twist.
The Danelectro 1956 Single Cutaway w/ Dolphin Headstock Electric Guitar improves on the classic electric
guitar manufactured from the mid '50s through the late '60s and sold in popular mail-order catalogs. The most notable improvement
is the new pickup configuration and electronics.
The Danelectro guitar's bolt-on maple neck has a rosewood fretboard,
and unique "dolphin" shaped headstock with 3 in-line closed tuners. Dual lipstick pickups at the bridge are wired in series
to create a powerful humbucker effect. A 3-way switch allows for alternating between: position 1 - Bridge (dual coil humbucker)
on; position 2 (middle) - both Bridge and Neck on in series; position 3 - Neck only.
The 1956 Danelectro guitar bridge
has a metal base with notches that hold the ball-end strings, and a rosewood saddle. Other features include white knobs on
dual concentric tone and volume controls, a matching "seal" pickguard, and a double acting truss rod.
