The Danelectro 57 brings all the style, flair, and tone of the original 57's to a high-performance modern instrument. The Danelectro 57's center-blocked, semi-hollow construction and Vintage '50s Lipstick pickups give you the spank, chime, grit, and chunk of a real-deal vintage original. Tone toggling and voice tailoring are easily done using the 57's rugged 3-way switch and space-saving concentric volume/tone controls. Cream-buttoned Gotoh tuning machines, a U3 intonatable saddle bridge, and a dual-action truss rod give the modern '57 a leg up on a true '50s model.

This guitar's time-honored semi-hollowbody construction adds a rich resonance to leads and chords. Thanks to its spruce frame and inner center block, the 57 won't feed back as easily onstage as the original - though it can certainly be coaxed into feedback territory for high-gain applications. The maple neck features a classic Coke Bottle headstock and a 14"-radius pau ferro fingerboard for high performance and a timeless look.
