Danelectro 56' Baritone Bottle Headstock Guitar - Black

Danelectro Baritone Bottle Headstock Guitar in Black

The Danelectro '56 Baritone features an extended scale length and classic Danelectro retro styling and character. Too cool to not find a home in every player's collection, this guitar features an adjustable wraparound bridge, stacked control knobs, and Vintage-style machine heads to deliver true Danelectro mojo in every sense of the word. Voiced by a pair of high-impedance, high-output Lipstick pickups, the '56 Baritone delivers huge power and a rich, complex tone.

Boasting a massive 29.75" scale length, "C"-shape Maple neck with a 21 fret Pau Ferro fretboard, and a robust Spruce body, this guitar delivers powerful and full-bodied tones, with plenty of clarity and articulation. The extended scale length accommodates low tunings with grace and ease - perfect for low-tuned country and metal players alike, and offering a seamless transition for both bassists and guitarists - with all the unique styling and iconic tonal character that players love about Danelectro!

A baritone guitar is a type of guitar with a longer scale length than a standard guitar, typically ranging from 27 to 30 inches. This longer scale allows the instrument to be tuned to a lower pitch, usually a fourth or fifth lower than standard tuning. The baritone guitar produces a deeper, richer sound, which makes it popular in genres like surf rock, country, metal, and film scores where a darker, more resonant tone is desired. It bridges the gap between a regular guitar and a bass guitar, offering versatility in both lead and rhythm playing.

Why buy Danelectro guitars?

Danelectro guitars are known for their unique vintage style, affordability, and distinctive sound, making them a great choice for players seeking a retro vibe without breaking the bank. These guitars are celebrated for their lightweight construction, using materials like Masonite and poplar, which contribute to their distinctively resonant tone, ideal for genres like rock, blues, and surf music. Additionally, Danelectro's lipstick pickups provide a bright, jangly sound that sets them apart from more traditional guitar brands, appealing to musicians who want a quirky, yet classic, tonal palette.
