While Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker were making guitars from the highest quality tone woods in the late 50s and 60s – Nat Daniel went in another direction. He made cheaper guitars that anybody could afford. Cheap, but playable and with a great, unique sound. Great sound was certainly obtainable from Danelectros – as Jimmy Page proved with his Shorthorn six string and John Entwhistle demonstrated to a similar level of perfection with the Longhorn bass. The Stock '59 is constructed with a lightweight hardboard/plywood center-block body that delivers that jangly signature "Dano" sound with enhanced sustain. In addition, a maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard offers smooth playability, while the traditional bridge with wood swivel saddle and aluminum nut play their part in flawlessly re-creating the "Dano" sound heard on countless hit records.
