Surprisingly good little guitar!

giulianojz, 10.06.2017

Great for clean tones. Forget the strat, this is the cleanest, chimy tone you can have! Also great for rhythm gruitar, it becomes almost like acustic guitar.

If you are a pedal freak this might be for you. It lets the pedas speak for themselves without colouring the tone too much.

Bonus, its cheap and pretty undistructible. If nucelar holocaust ever comes our way, you can be sure the only thing left in this world will be cockroaches and danelectros.

It's fun

H.P., 29.12.2017

It follows the opinion of a non-guitar professional. One may forgive me if I'm a bit too enthusiastic, but my overall impression is just a very good one: this thing is really fun.

Incidentally, my order did not include the Dano 59M NOS, but the 59M NOS +, which is slightly different from the guitar pictured. For example, there is a "D" logo on the pickguard and the recess around the sunken bridge is now much larger.

The latter is quite positive, because a string change must have been a bit tedious with the 59M NOS, with the 59M NOS + is quite easy. The now used NOS + pickups should according to the manufacturer again sound better than the NOS pickups (I can not judge), and otherwise you read that the 59M NOS +, which is made in Korea, should be better processed than the previous models from China , My guitar is optically processed anyway perfectly and was adjusted in relation to the string position and intonation absolutely correct; Unfortunately, as an amateur, I can not comment on the details of any necessary fine tuning.

I do not have much experience with electric guitars, but in terms of sound, the Dano 59M NOS + dwarfs everything I've ever managed to elicit from other electric guitars: a very multi-layered sound, bluesy with a bite to the bridge pickup, rich in overtones Neck pickup, full bodied with both pickups. Sound somewhere between a classic electric guitar and an acoustic guitar. I use the guitar in an Ambient Chamber jazz ensemble, and this sound fits in incredibly well, but I can also imagine that the guitar is well suited for blues and rockabilly, thanks to the clear sound with the bridge pickup.

It takes some getting used to the combined volume / tone controls, so it helps to make music that does not turn around the controls too often - even though the controls on my guitar can be turned individually without the other moving with them.

Otherwise, in the context in which I use the guitar (with admittedly not very high standards), nothing really negative to me. For the money a very fine guitar, which is both visually and sonically a lot of fun.
