Danelectro 59/12l
Got the Danelectro 59x12 today but didn't open it up until 2 hours ago. Fairly decent guitar. Seen worse/seen better. The only cheese is the knobs. Tell they are cast. Would be better if they didn't put numbers in bass relief on it. They are what is the giveaway to being cast as you will see in the closeup photo. The fret ends are covered which is nice (won't have to deal with fret-sprout). The bridge will allow for individual intonation of all strings. The lower six are feed thru the body while the upper six are top loaders. Intonation was fairly close but all strings needed intonation. The upper 6 were locked down and followed the lower six on the main saddle well. The sound is decent. I love the P90 + humbucking bridge lipstick pickup position (center position) on the 3 way switch.
Ok now for the real: I forgot how challenging playing a 12 can be especially now that I mainly play bass.
Sorry about the underlined text. It happened when I copied the text and pasted here and I can seem to remove it.
