Danelectro '57 Jade

The vintage ones cost more than your first car! This painstaking reissue features our Vintage 50’s Lipstick® Pickups, adjustable bridge, and other cool vintage touches.

Vintage 50's Lipstick PIckups
We dissected, bisected and THEN resurrected the awesome tone and warmth of the 1950's Danelectro Lipstick pickups. Magnets are sand cast Alnico 6, just like the old ones. The Lipstick types are 80/20 brass zinc, just like the tubes Danelectro bought from cosmetics maker Max Factor back in the day. These Vintage 50's Pickups kick out warm lows, searing mids and sweet highs. These babies sing! You have never heard Danelectro until you have heard these. Sonic Heaven!
