The Danelectro 59 DC is built the way Danelectros always were: a pine frame with Masonite front and back rather than a solid body, which keeps it very light and gives a hollow, slightly honky resonance. Its lipstick-tube pickups are literally wound into surplus lipstick casings, producing a thin, bright, jangly voice with far less output than a conventional single-coil.
The Epiphone Riviera is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering warm, articulate tone with smooth response. Its premium construction and responsive pickups provide excellent tonal clarity. The Riviera appeals to jazz and blues players seeking warm tone.
