Danelectro DC-3 Electric Guitar Review & Demo
After I recently sold one of my two Stratocasters, I found myself searching for a decent replacement single coil equipped guitar. I wanted something different than a regular Strat, however -- something with a little more style, edge, and a unique sound.
Enter the Danelectro DC-3. This Korean made reissue guitar has been out of production since the early 2000s and they're getting harder and harder to find. I happened to score this guitar very cheaply on eBay, and I wanted to put it through its paces here today for you guys.
Check out how these uniquely wired lipstick single coil pickups sound when played clean.
The Danelectro DC-3 comes equipped with Gotoh tuners, an aluminum nut, a scarf jointed 2 piece maple neck, nice slab rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium frets. The action is best set at about medium, because this guitar frets out in a couple of places from high frets. It also features a heel adjust truss rod, meaning you have to take the neck off to adjust it. It isn't that big of a deal, but because the guitar has a Masonite and plywood semi hollow body, I do worry that removing the neck over time to adjust it may strip the screw holes in the body.
It also has a nicely done silver sparkle finish with no imperfections, 3 alnico lipstick single coils, and concentric stacked volume and tone pot. The six way pickup selector allows for a bunch of unique tones, and an aptly named "blow switch" can be flipped to activate all three pickups at once for HUGE jangly sounds. The chromed metal bridge is also a nice upgrade from the standard Danelectro rosewood bridge and should last a lot longer.
Check out this guitar's raunchy garage rock tones when overdriven!
Overall, I dig this Danelectro DC-3. It does have a couple of issues, but nothing a competent guitar tech couldn't solve cheaply. It's also very lightweight, so a two or three hour gig or jam session would be a piece of cake. And with so many tones on tap, you won't have trouble covering any style of music.
