The Danelectro Shorthorn line of guitars are a dual cutaway hollow bodied design, made of Masonite and poplar. The original models were introduced in 1959 to replace the U model guitars, and were in production until the closure of the Danelectro company in 1969. There have been multiple re-issues of this line of guitars, the first two being the 59DC with two pickups and DC-3 with three pickups, sold between 1998 and 2001. The 59 Dano followed in 2007 and the 59-DC in 2009. The Shorthorn range comes in one, two and three pickup models, and has the "Coke Bottle Style" classic headstock, hollowed body cavity, and a seal shaped pick guard with two concentric "stacked" tone/volume knobs. The later (2007-) reissues are Chinese-made with an asymmetric headstock and bog-standard (non-stacked) master tone- and volume knobs. In 2014 Danelectro announced several improvements for its latest iteration, the '59M NOS. Manufacturing returns to Korea for the new model, along with stacked concentric knobs and canonical headstock profile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://danelectro.com/product/double-cutaway-1959/#specs )〕 Featured hardware includes tunable die-cast bridge and NOS Lipstick pickups manufactured in 1999.〔 ==Danelectro Convertible== The Danelectro Convertible was a hollow-bodied thinline acoustic/electric guitar based on the Shorthorn. It had a conventional round sound hole with a lipstick pickup mounted diagonally across the hole. The Convertible name came from the ability to play it unplugged as an acoustic guitar or plugged in as an electric guitar. The jack to accommodate the cable was located inside the guitar's strap holder on the bottom of the guitar body. The Convertible has the double cutaway shape used on Danelectro's DC series of guitars. The Convertible was originally produced in the 1960s. It was offered as a reissue between 1998 and 2001. The guitar is currently being reissued. The Convertible had a floating bridge and a separate tailpiece. On the Convertible, the tailpiece was used to hold the strings equally apart while the metal riser on the bridge was not notched, with the undesirable result that the strings slid back & forth on the bridge when the guitarist bent strings while playing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danelectro Shorthorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
