Danelectro guitars and JHS kindly sent me this 12 string electric guitar to try out. You asked for a DC59X but I am sure you didn't expect it to be a 12.
I have quickly fallen in love with the sound and great playability of this guitar and it has inspired me to write lots of new riffs and progressions, some of which I include here along with my original track 'Book 'em Dano!' which opens this video.
Enjoy!!!!!
Thanks for watching and take good care folks! You have but one life - live and enjoy it. Peace :o)

Really enjoyed your review of the 59x12 I just ordered one today. I was looking at the Harley Benton GB612CS and the Eastwood classic 12. I think the versatility of this model won me over.
Good job as always!
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Mike!
Just ordered mine today, can't wait. I've always loved the way the Dano 12s play. Thanks for the demo.
My pleasure mate. You will love it!
That's a winner all around. Really lovely 12 electric. Nice review - you done well with this one :D
Thanks buddy really appreciate your kindness and enjoyment
Damn that sounds sweet, deffo a keeper👍✌
Love it. Want one.....
into was awesome and no doubt took some time and effort! thanks for a great video mang! awesome guitar as well!
Thank you brother. I was inspired by this guitar! Cheers my friend. :-)
It sounds incredible
Thank you bro!
I'm not into Danelectro stuff for my own reasons but I'm glad you're enjoying the guitar!! Cheers my friend!!
Ya me neither, but the 12s are cooler than the 6s, me thinks.
Just found this, Mike.
Great, great review, and I do hope you are getting on OK.
Keep on rocking, buddy and have a great Christmas 2022 and a good New Year! 👍
I play weekly in an Oldies By Request band and travel with two guitars, an Epiphone Casino, and a Dean Boca 12 string. I use EHX B9 Organ and M9 Mellotron pedals on about 10% of the requested songs, and the 12 string gives a fuller sound to the organ, strings and choral sounds created by the pedals. Of course the 12 string is also great for Byrds, Beatles, Hollies, and other mid 60's sounds. And the Dean Boca 12 which get a lot of high capo settings is perfectly intonated and rarely goes out of tune.
Awesome brother
I will have to try it with my EHX key pedals.
Fabulous video China🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Cheers bro
I've never fancied a 12 string but you make it sound great man!
Thanks bro 😊👍
Great tone!
Cheers, it's a lovely instrument
Great stuff (as always)! I enjoyed your playing and your presentation to the point that I think I may just go out and buy one for myself, I don't have an electric 12 string or a Danelectro - yup, 70 years old, full of arthritis with waay too many guitars (12 and counting), and still a guitar addict.
You're Not Helping, lol!!!
Thanks for all your great videos and insights.
Bless you brother, comments like your kindness and encouragement here are exactly why I love making videos. Have a great weekend brother 😊👍
Mine is coming in a couple of days .Your playing is really good and I'm getting ideas already .
Man you're gonna have fun!
I'm in love with those overdriven 12 string sounds!!!
It's really different and pretty cool huh
@@Chinaguitarsceptic I've watched this video many times already
There is no life without a 12-string. The Danelectro is a fine example that is not a clone of anything else. (If you want a clone, head over to Harley Benton.)
Nice video, astonishing sounds from the guitar and very good box of Mercì on the background you deserve it, brò......
..slurp, slurp...
This guitar has such great tones plus it's really easy to play. Cheers brother 🎸😊👍
@@Chinaguitarsceptic r'n'r will never die mate... (*__*)
I love the tones on this 12er!!
I checked one out today at the Replay Guitar Shop in Tampa,Florida, I tell you, I bought it in a heartbeat !!
Super COOL player! Been a 12 string player for many many years,, and this one blew my hair back ! 😆
So glad you got one they are fantastic
Like that much better than the 6 string models.... their, shall we say "design choices", seem to benefit a 12 string's tone more than a 6's. Love that closing riff, very cool!
Thank you that's so kind mate 😊👍🙏
As you might know there was a time during the 1960's when Danelectros could be had for $25 right out of a swimming pool at 5&10 cent stores in the US. All I can say is they've come a long way. You nailed the late 60's, early 70's tone as if you'd been playing then. Good demo, good guitar!
Just made my day with this comment thank you. 😊👍
The obvious chorus/octave effect of a 12 string is always mesmerizing in finger style or arpeggios. The kewl thing about this is that you get the straight pickup sound rather than a acoustic pickup, meaning it’s all 12 strings going into the overdrive or distortion and nothing else...such a bright fuzzy sound. I feel like I need to play the byrds on the guitar...and I have one on order now...months away...as Tom petty said, “the waiting is the hardest part”
Such a distinctive sound
Great playing on the Dano-12, Mike! I have a Vintage-12...they Rock! A special thanx for posting the weight. Cheers!
Just for you brother. Cheers my friend 👍
@@Chinaguitarsceptic ...One word...Glarry. Cheers!
@@timditulio6215 which glarry was it you wanted the weight of again? Sorry dude. I'll weigh anything you want.
@@Chinaguitarsceptic The upcoming Tele models... and for that matter, all guitars you review...Thanx!
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Hey Mike! Glarry has released their Tele model called the GTL. I bought the Yellow one this morning as soon as I rec'd their email. See if they might send you one for a review...Up the British and Cheers!!!
That thing sounds great in the mix! Loved your original tune. You ought to throw some vocals over it and I think you’d have a great throwback hit on your hands. I’m gonna have to check one of these out. God bless and rock bro 👍🎸😎
Thanks and good bless brother 🙏
Клёво. Молодец. Very nice 👌
I got the previous iteration of the Dano 12 string for 300 new US and it is the best playing guitar I've had, and it stays in tune better than my SG or Tele.
They are pretty sweet
Merci for the nice demo, indeed it has a beautiful sound and range of sounds. Will it be #16, I'm tempted and will go see and try it in store soon. Great video as usual.
Thank you bro. What did you mean by #16 mate?
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Because it would be my 16th guitar. I need just one more. Take care.
I love electric 12's. I have a Ric 360/12 I've had over 20 years. It is not, to be fair, a sound I get to use a lot, but when I do need that sound, there's really nothing else that gets it.
I'm hooked! :-)
At 2 :20 shades of Roger McGuinn/The Byrds. Very tasteful!
Thank you! What a compliment! 😊👍
Victim of Changes next please. Sounded pretty good. I can see how it would lead to new "riffage". Esp those runs that use open strings. Sounds huge!
Can't put the thing down! 😛👍
Mine's on the way! "N O W" (2/18/21) UP to $569.99 USA !!!!!!! Should have picked one up when they first came out-----$260! Mine is on the way, and I believe my "Cream" model (as in the video) with the more modern configuration will be better than the original Dual Lipsticks!!
Wow cool man, enjoy! Let me know how you get on please.
Love your analysis of this guitar. I have a Rickenbacker 360/12 which sounds amazing, of course, but is so damn hard to play. The neck is too narrow for me (maybe a 360/6 would be ok, but that's not a 12). So i was happy to see this. Maybe the Danelectro would be easier for me to play. I know a friends Taylor 12 string acoustic is much more to my liking for neck action. Maybe this too. Thanks.
This is lovely to play and I usually struggle with 12s too my friend 👍
@@Chinaguitarsceptic I'll go to Guitar Center or some other store that carries Danelectro and give it a go. Many thanks to you! Cheers.
@@johnrupert4535 my pleasure brother
This is easier to play than my telecaster!
I'd spend all day playing hotel California LMAO
TFS nice step for DE
LOL
You just can't beat a good 12-string. I have a Yamaha Semi-Electric 12. Best guitar I ever bought. It's a beast.
Especially on drive tones!
Some rock chords on a 12 string electric, Yes!! Searched countless videos for that Big Sugar, Big Wreck sound with distortion and chords!!!
Thanks so glad you liked it.
The 12's are made for modulation. That bass tuning does well with ring modulators etc.
Completely, 👍
Ha... Had the feeling you were going to like that one. Should be able to get a deal on it after all it is used. 🤣🤘
LOL, oh yeah! It's an ex-demo model :-)
Im user of Rickenbacker 12 strings many years ago , Rick is unique, is the jangle sound but this Danalectro 59x12 just play jangle tones wov, It is genial.
It's a poor man's Ricky. I love the jangle too.
What a great sounding guitar!!! In all the years that I have played guitar I have never even tried a twelve string. Think that I will have to give it a go. Do you know if they do it in a lefty version?
Cheers bro. Yeah I'm sure they must make a lefty. If not, they should!
And now I want one, thank you very bleedin' much 😜
Lol. Sorry mate. If its any consolation, I've done it to myself too! 😂😂
Chinaguitarsceptic Well you did an epic demo that really showed the sonic possibilities of this guitar especially with the tune you created to show it off at the intro, very late sixties early seventies Brit/California sound and I was sold on it right away, I owned and played an Eko Jumbo Ranger 5 12 string back in the late 70s which I still possess and this Danelectro has all the hallmarks of that iconic sound but electrified so what's not to like, I'm definitely going to look into trying one out very soon to see if I like the playability but as far as the sound is concerned it's a definite purchase. Thanks for a great demo.
@@pauldazeley thank you brother I'm delighted you enjoyed it and it's sparked an enthusiasm in you for an electric 12. I am definitely looking to buy this one as I can't face sending it back! 😍👍
you are going to buy it I am sure !!!!!!!!
It's just a funding decision brother. I'm working my own new business right now and every penny counts..
I love the guitar though.
Nice sparkly sound. In the background I see merci chocolate, did you get these with your Axe FX-III? I got these with my AX8 ;-)
Lol yes I did. I really should eat them! Ha
your music was great
Thank you
very nice, whens the doubleneck coming though ; ) . i dig 12 string guitars. they are somewhat dying, production wise 😢😢😡😡 : ' ( thoughts on 7 8 and 10 (bc rich) string guitars?
Ha double neck won't do my old back any good!
I HAVE A DAN ELECTRO 12 STRING BUT WITH 2 LIPSTICK PICKUPS ,
IM THINKING OF GETTING THIS MODEL AS I THINK IT GIVES ME A MORE BEATLE BYRDS TYPE SOUND FROM THE 60,S .
I HAVE A FENDER 12 STRING WHICH IS GREAT AND ALSO A RICKENBACKER 360/12 WHICH I HATE ,THE RICKENBACKER IS OVER RATED ,AND CURRENTLY I HAVE IT UP FOR SALE .
I WOULD SAY THE STRAT AND THE NEW MODEL 12 STRING ARE PROBABLY ON PAR , MAYBE THE STRAT IS JUST BETTER BUT THE DAN ELECTRO I HAVE IS EASIER TO PLAY . SO THIS NEW MODEL IS A BIG TEMPTATION.
I love it
I play 12 string acoustic, but I've always wanted an electric. Maybe this is the one. I notice the ones I've seen just have 2 lipstick pickups.
Yes this is a very new fresh of the press model they kindly let me demo 👍
Hi Mike did you try any Harley Benton 12 strings when you were in Germany .
Apologise if you already shown it.
I'm so sorry I didn't. There was so much to see and do! I'll have to go back! 😁
Is the bridge fully set up to provide proper intonation on each string?
Yes I checked and it's almost spot on :-)
Your guitar playing sounds incredible on this video I think we need to get together and do a song again
I would love that brother. 😍👍
I have a request I think you should check out the ola Englund guitars
Just having a quick look in gonna assume you mean solar guitars?
Didn't know you were a multiple instrumentalist.
I think multiple hack is probably closer 😂
Bought one.
Nice bro!
How is the neck stability? Double rods?
Very stable but I believe Dual Action not double
@@Chinaguitarsceptic Thank you. 😀
You're most welcome
Seen them for $399 in the U.S. Wait till you encounter the 12 string Bass,hoowee.
Oh my! Oh my! For sure 😂
Now that guitar is $549
Worth every penny
I curse my shytey Windows, the sound is terrible, I have crackling sounds.
I can still hear that this sounds pretty good, but my system will just sound crackling.
Sorry to hear that bud
I miss mike
Why 6 when you can have 12
Goes for everything in life brother :-)
You have lived without it because you still have yet to restring it or watch the neck slowly warp over years of sitting around unplayed because it always takes so damn long to tune.
Haha! Yeah for sure. Good point. It took me for ever to tune!! :-)
I have the older version of this guitar. It stays in tune like a dream guitar. If it goes out it's slight and I can get it back in a minute or so. I have not changed strings on it, I pay my guy to do this as I do on most of my guitars. But the strings have been on it over 3 years by now and they still have life. I'm well aware of tuning issues with the various 12's I've experienced. By the time you tune the last 3 pairs the first 3 pairs are way out of tune again? $3,000 dollars and unplayable!
