Danelectro '59 12 String Electric Guitar in Red Pre-owned

The Danelectro ’59 12-String delivers classic jangle and shimmering resonance in a vintage-inspired body — now available in red and in very good pre-owned condition. With its distinctive “lipstick” pickups, dual cutaways, and retro charm, this 12-string guitar offers both style and sonic sparkle.

The lightweight Masonite body ensures that it’s comfortable to play despite being a 12-string, while the bolt-on maple neck with a slim profile gives fast access across the 21-fret rosewood fingerboard. The “lipstick tube” single-coil pickups deliver that signature chiming Danelectro sound — rich, airy, and full of harmonic overtones.

With its vintage-meets-modern aesthetics, the red finish adds a bold visual statement. Despite being used, this guitar shows only very minor wear, meaning it’s fully functional and retains its original tone and reliability. Ideal for players seeking a jangly 12-string for studio work, live performance, or songwriting.
