K
sixties jangle
Kapser 20.08.2023
I was looking for a jangly 12 string, to function as a sort of a pedal to get those jangly sixties sounds. The Dano has a very good balance between quality and price and delivers the sound I was looking for.

The guitar came fast and was close to be in tune.
It plays easy, you get used to it very fast.
The pot-meters don't give fast changes, but I don't care. The bridge pick-up gives three different sounds, but in that high range.
Tuning goes fast once you got used to the double numbers of tuning hooks. First time tuning was a struggle to break the automatisme of the 6 string.

About the sound ; It is jangly and sometimes close to 'shrill" as I expected. But that's why I bought it. It gives you all the corners in this high trebled range. It is a master in this particular sound.
Of course, you need at least one compressor pedal with much amount of compression to go Byrds etc.
If you want to have a wider range of tones, and not get limited to the trebly jangle, buy the x version. I suspect the vintage on the other hand can do more nuances in the treble range.

I am very pleased with this rather cheap but good guitar. It is very smart what they deliver with their classic cardboard structure.
I played a (very nice) Gretsch in a shop which costs a lot more, So I know this Dano fits my needs by comparing.

If you use this guitar for the specific sound like me. If you are not going to really explore all the technical aspects of a twelve string in your guitar play, buy this one. It saves money for a lot of pedals and it is more then enough to get what you want.

Buena guitarra respecto a la "calidad - precio"
Álvaro Pérez 13.05.2021
Esta guitarra es perfecta para tenerla en tu colección, un guitarrista siempre debe probar o tener una guitarra de 12 cuerdas.
Estuve mirando varias guitarras de 12 cuerdas de gama media de varias marcas, y respecto a el presupuesto que tenía no encontraba muchas. Finalmente encontré esta marca que nunca antes la había visto, y sinceramente tienen guitarras muy buenas y no muy caras, un buen ejemplo es esta "Danelectro 59 vintage 12 strings".

Los Pros:
-Es una guitarra muy versátil a la hora de tocarla, a pesar de que sea de 12 cuerdas y pueda costar más tocarla.
- Su tamaño es igual que al de una guitarra eléctrica normal. A pesar de tener el clavijero mas grande (al ser de 12 cuerdas), se puede guardar en una funda normal de guitarra.
- Su sonido es limpio y brillante, y al combinarla con efectos como chorus, reverbs, delays... suena muy bien.

Los Contras:
- Al tener un sonido tan brillante tan solo utilizando la pastilla de el mástil, al cambiar a la pastilla de el puente suena demasiado agudo para mi gusto.
- Las cuerdas con las que viene no son muy buenas, se desafinan si tocas rasgueos muy fuerte, pero yo se las cambie y este problema desapareció, así que no es problema de la guitarra.

En resumen, recomiendo esta guitarra si estas buscando una de 12 cuerdas, porque para su precio suena muy bien, es cómoda de tocar y no da muchos problemas.

Fast top
The Universe By Stef 29.02.2020
Ich machs kurz:

TOP:
- Bespielbarkeit
- Oktavreinheit bei allen 12 Saiten einstellbar
- Look

OK:
- Pickups taugen, neigen aber zu etwas Höhenlastigkeit
- baubedingte Kopflastigkeit gerade noch erträglich (mit gutem Gurt)

NAJA:
- Potis reagieren in den ersten 2mm Regelweg massiv, danach kaum mehr.
- 3-weg Toggle eigenwillig verlötet: In der Mittelstellung sind beide PUs seriell, also doppelt so laut wie einzeln. Im vergleich mit regulären Singlecoils ist die Gitarre also leiser (Steg oder Hals alleine) oder eben lauter (beide seriell). Weil das Volumenpoti nicht wirklich brauchbar ist, lässt sich das nicht ausgleichen. Also eher doof, wenn man zwischen 6-Saiter und 12-Saiter wechseln will.
