Vintage-styled Semi-hollow from Danelectro

Danelectro's 66BT baritone electric guitar combines versatile tones with vintage styling to create a noteworthy axe for your collection. The semi-hollow alder body provides a warm tone and resonance that you'll love. It has a vintage-style single-coil pickup in the neck position and a humbucking dual-lipstick pickup in the bridge that work together to crunch out thick mellow tones. This axe also has a Wilkinson vibrato bridge that'll let you add vibrato without pulling you out of tune. The C-shaped maple neck and pau ferro fingerboard will feel comfortable, no matter your playing style. With its avant-garde styling and great tonal options, the Danelectro 66BT semi-hollow baritone guitar is one you won't want to pass up.

Classic controls with a modern twist

The Danelectro 66BT ships to you with a master volume control, master tone control, and a 3-way switch. Don't be fooled, there are tons of tonal options to be unlocked. This axe has a vintage-inspired single-coil pickup in the neck and a dual lipstick humbucker in the bridge. At Sweetwater, we're big fans of lipstick humbuckers and their thick, powerful attack. When you're running through a dirty amp, you'll get a ton of crunch and low-end response without losing definition. Meanwhile, a clean amp can create awesome jazz tones. If that's not enough, the master volume control is a push-pull pot that splits and adds extra chime to the humbucker.

Vintage-styled Semi-hollowbody construction

Danelectro is known for its instantly recognizable body designs and avant-garde styling. The 66BT is no different. This reverse-offset body shape simply drips with vintage vibe and distinctive Danelectro styling. The semi-hollow construction adds sustain and extra presence to the sound. Thanks to the alder centerblock, it won't feed back as easily under high gain. The maple neck has a curvy headstock, die-cast tuners, and a 14"-radius pau ferro fingerboard that work together to complete the vintage look of the Danelectro 66BT.

  • Alder body is balanced and resonant

Reviews

Danelectro Baritone 66BT
Started playing guitar 35 years ago and was originally trained to be a music teacher. However, I never owned a Baritone guitar. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Baritone! This Danelectro is a great guitar! The deep, rich sound of the Baritone has given me so many creative ideas for my own songs. It looks great, and sound great!
Music background: B.S. Music Education, and I have been playing guitar since the 1980's..
Every bit a Danelectro
Very well built. Photos don't do the blue finish justice. Sounds great, plays great!! Two things to note: It is neck heavy. I use really grippy leather straps, so not an issue for me, but maybe an issue for others. The bridge is good, but the trem arm is held in by a set screw. My preference is screw in. The pickups are great. This guitar does everything from surf to doom.
Music background: gigging amature
DANELECTRO 66BT BARITONE
I love this guitar. The deep rich tones are just what I wanted.
This is a very nice instrument
I've had my 66bt for three weeks now and I am really liking it. The workmanship is superb. The setup was the best I've ever had on a new guitar - the intonation is perfect. I have a BassVI as well and this feels and sounds much more like a guitar than a bass. The neck feels great and I haven't had any problems adjusting to playing it, even though the first few frets are pretty far apart. It's very resonant unplugged, but the pickups sound fantastic into a clean Fender style amp. Throw in a little reverb and tremolo and the tone is extremely good - articulate and full-bodied, but not wooly or ice-picky. I find the neck pickup (single coil) to be extremely usable and with the coil splitting in the bridge pickup, this thing has a many different tones available. I play mostly clean, but I am sure this would take distortion extremely well. The blue finish looks fantastic - in some light it looks almost black, but the blue really shows when it's illuminated. I play in a duo with an acoustic guitar and this baritone really helps us fill out our sound. The vibrato is Strat-style. I would have preferred a Bigsby or Jazzmaster style system, but this works very well for me after I adjusted my touch. I had to wait six months to get mine, but if something happened to it I wouldn't hesitate to get another one!
Music background: Hobbyist who plays out several times a year.
Good player but..
Ok, this is hardly a reflection on Sweetwater as I'm a very happy customer. But this guitar, it's over priced by $. The hardware and pots are as cheap as it gets. Esthetic wise, it looks like a plastic guitar. I do like the way it plays though but that's not good when the noise from the string tree echos at tap. The lack of insulation on the pots is unforgivable at this price point. The headstock dive is way shallow and contributes to a further ring at tap. My guitars tremolo bar doesn't connect as well. I'm sending her back. Sweetwater is a very fair place to buy from and they get an A+ for painless return.
Music background: 50+ years recording.
