This Danelectro 12-string is a real character piece. The Lipstick pickups give it a wonderfully chimey and slightly raw tone, perfect for jangly indie, alternative, or even some unexpected R&B. It’s a bit of a quirky instrument, best suited for players who appreciate a unique vibe and don’t need a Swiss Army knife of a guitar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Masonite is surprisingly resonant, but it won’t sustain like a solid wood body. It contributes to a more percussive, slightly hollow tone.
They offer smoother tuning stability and a more premium feel compared to basic machine heads, a welcome addition.
The neck is a comfortable, relatively slim C-shape, familiar to players used to vintage-style necks, but may feel a bit thinner than modern profiles.
