Fixed up with a special metal flake finish, the Danelectro Blackout 59 combines the sound and feel of a 59M NOS+ with jaw-dropping looks. Just like more historic models, the double-cutaway, short-horn body is made of masonite and still features the same shape as the iconic guitars once played by big shots like Jimmy Page, Elvis Costello and Mark Knopfler.

The Blackout 59: Familiar Lo-Fi Sparkle

While the masonite body and centreblock guarantee a classic clear core sound, two NOS+ Lipstick single-coils in an 80/20 brass-zinc housing take care of unmistakable, DC59-style tone once you're plugged in. This flexible pair of pickups serve up a broad selection of sparkling lo-fi sounds, which can be varied at will using the 3-way pickup switch and the two stacked volume and tone controls. All the while, the adjustable wraparound bridge ensures solid tuning stability and intonation.
