Danelectro DC-59 Psychedelic Eric Clapton. 1 of 200. Rainbow! 2010.

A very rare guitar in perfect shape. Collector's item. One out of 200! It is modeled after Eric Clapton's handpainted Danelectro DC-59 during his time in Blind Faith. What is so unique about this guitar is the finish. A psychedelic twist on the classic DC-59 made famous by Jimmy Page and Syd Barret. Looking at the pictures, you can see the colored artistic paint marks are all over the guitar! The fretboard, the pick guard, the headstock and the sides and back of the neck. It plays amazingly also! Classic Lip Stick tube pickups! It features a wooden bridge and an input jack on the front side of the guitar, which is how the original DC-59s were manufactured. The body is Masonite, a typical Danelectro manufacturing technique. Danelectros are great for any player. They are well built, they play well, they sound great, and they just look really cool! Incl gigbag.. Sold
