Danelectro guitars are great for their unique tone, as they do not sound like any traditional guitar due to their Masonite bodies and Lipstick pickups. They have excellent clean piercing tones and crunchy rock rhythms.

Danelectro is the brainchild of founder Nathan Daniel way back in 1947. First producing amplifiers for other companies, he later tried his hand at guitars and rolled out his production of Danelectro guitars in 1954.

Lipstick pickups are named because they are actual “electrified” lipstick pickup tubes. Danelectro pioneered this unconventional technology by placing plain pickups in lipstick casings and sealed them in wax.

Daniel bought a shipment of women’s lipstick cases. He thought of an idea to create a new style of pickups, offering guitarists a fresh aesthetic while adding another letter in the sonic alphabet.
