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 Reverend Billy Corgan signature is the Smashing Pumpkins frontman's solidbody, designed with custom pickups voiced for his blend of jangly cleans and massive fuzz-driven leads. It offers a clear, resonant tone that handles both shimmering clean rhythm and thick distortion, suited to alternative rock and shoegaze. Reverend's build quality and unique aesthetic complement Corgan's distinctive sound.
