LIPSTICK PICKUPS!!! SORRY

[@670TXxGregorysxXT670]

I was like come on now..😀

I'm sure you're more familiar with soapbars than lipstick, so - easy mistake to make 😀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘

Should try out a Danelectro baritone, because they are a full 30inch scale length, so you can get super modern metal low, they are reasonably priced and I have heard good things about them.

[@t.j.d.2648]

They where sold out at thomann

[@staz3014]

Now all Shoegaze Djent bands will use them instead of Bass VIs xD

[@The_Mimewar]

Yup! Love the baritones. I put a baritone neck on a Tele, and MAN, it t twangs

[@tommilitello198]

Maybe a different series,to ask if a baritone guitar will chug is kinda stupid

[@mortusdominus]

What? You mean to tell me there was a 30in scale length thing for the same price as a Bass VI that I'm not going to probably end up dumping $300 of parts in just to get the low E to function? I feel dumb.

[@davidg1612]

I love this Hendrixian concept of using equipment to do things it wasn't designed for. There is always going to be a need for pushing limits for the sake of innovation.

I know this isn't the reason we're here but that "clean" edge of breakup tone sounded amazing.

It does.. this thing sounds killer. I would make a killer record with this guitar. Those chords rings out incredible.. hear every note as well.. DAMN

[@JGStonedRaider]

@@scottykingdavid A fairly well known old studio trick was to use single coils rather than humbuckers for chord work (even the heaviest of metal) as you tend to get more definition...just get ready to hit that mute button when it feeds back like a bitch!

[@scottykingdavid]

@@JGStonedRaider of course. I have done it myself. With a old univox. Like a mosrite. And the other track a Les Paul. Two tracks each.. killer tone. Your right.. sometimes turning 90degrees away. Angle from the speakers help with the feed back. Or if the cab is in another room sometimes. But I hear ya

[@Barbro247]

For real though you can plug a semi acoustic without any fixed pickup into a blackstar amp even and make it chug. This is a no brainer

[@StuntcatTV]

Boss, that is not a soapbar, that's a Lipstick. The soapbar is the vintage white P90

That would be awesome. Throw in a Big Muff for the extra grunge/punk goodness.

When I see these guitars it makes me think of grungy, cheap, pawn shop kinda sounds. Sleater-Kinney used one of these (at least there was one on the cover of Dig Me Out) and Led Zeppelin also used these, among some others. Definitely more hard-rock oriented to me. This thing’s got some history behind it!

[@michaelwoolley576]

Ha ha

[@ryanteacher8134]

Single coils sound awesome with high gain amps, just need a tubescreamer to boost the signal and a noise gate to dial out the hum. Single coils sound even better than humbuckers do when you tune your guitar down.

[@craigtodd8297]

Mines awesome.

[@unabyband1263]

Hi, Ola. Try to use their (Danelectro) baritone guitars, maybe for some future videos. They should probably chugging really well!

[@K._Oss]

When you want to be vintage AND contemp at the same time, the 59 nos+ does that and more for me. It’s rare that a guitar you’d expect more fit for a 60s Mod Revival sound (which it’s got that to a T) can also deliver a crunchy distorted bar chord barrage from hell, and it does so much with so little. This Dano may not be perfect for everyone, but she’s perfect for me. ❤️‍🔥

[@therealeleusis]

I was completely blown away by that thing chugging...never thought the lipstick pickups could achieve that...kudos to Mesa too but damn, a brutal danelectro, I'm just stunned? That color too...fucking gorgeous!!!🤘😎🤘

[@JustPlayItLoud]

I knew this would chug when I saw it, but it’s still good to hear it. The pickups are relatively low output so they don’t drive an amp super hard, but if you get enough gain otherwise, they have a glorious midrange sound that works great for chunky, chuggy tones

[@rockarena666]

I’ve actually used one in my metal party band. Those lipstick pick ups sound amazing and for the price … Bought it because of Led Zeppelin, kept it because they’re just so good.

[@MetalZoned]

"It's actually not half-bad" high praise indeed lol

[@f67739]

breaking news: mesa dual recs sound amazing, yes they will chug

[@TheDeadStretch]

I would love if Solar got into these style of Guitars alongside their current models. Some funny, cool different body style and shapes but with a modern take on it would be KILLER! Kinda like Eastwood and Airline Guitars.

[@dannyk8768]

Love these guitars! I have a 'stock 59 & I've found: either keeping the tone control below 3/4ths & rolling back the volume or swapping to using flatwound strings definitely helps tame the high-gain sounds. IMO it's also worthwhile to shield the entire back face of the pickgaurd with copper (and solder a connecting wire to earth/back of volume pot) as that helps cut some of the electrical noise

[@larslarsman]

Video on you noise reduction hack? Solid copper, or will copper fine mesh work also. I use copper mesh to shield house from my Smart meters.

[@TheMetaldudeX]

Now I’m waiting for some like hipster metal band to be chuggin on some Danelectros now.

[@rivalmindss]

I bet Danelectro would make some badass explorer and v styles, lol

[@SteremyJeele]

The hardcore scene has been full of that type of thing for a couple years. St. Vincent sigs, Danelectros, Balaguer guitars, etc.

[@rivalmindss]

@@SteremyJeele I’ve seen balaguer, but not the others… yet

[@SteremyJeele]

@@rivalmindss Just a matter of time. Also depends on the hardcore scene around your area. Beatdown guys aren't really doing it, but all the Converge-style bands love that stuff.

[@rivalmindss]

@@SteremyJeele oh for sure. Since Kurt was using First Act a long time ago lol. I’m on the borderline, but the furthest I’ve went is a LP JR style guitar lol.

[@rickbennett105]

I wouldn’t mind having one of those. There is something kinda cool about them. That color helps.

[@IrLosin]

I was actually thinking about getting one for a while, just to hang on my wall. They so nailed that 50's/60's style.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

They got 12 string versions too! There's also a Mosrite style with twin lipsticks/humbuckers. Really cool stuff! ✌️

[@7MNDmusic]

Nothing feels or sounds like a Dano! Underrated guitars for metal

[@knorrf1x900]

actually, i got to this channel 2 years ago because of a will it chug (Orange crush 20). Huge fan since then. I saw some Solar guitars on instagram before and always loved them. On Ola´s Videos i alwas thought "Damn he got many of that Solar Guitars, guess he´s an artist or something" hahahha Took me about a month until i knew he owns Solar :D

Danelectro is constantly in and out of production, so you just have to get them while you can. If you want a new one.

This should go really well with a Catalinbread Topanga pedal. You'll really get that surf rock drip!

Now what you really need is to try out a Danelectro Long-Horn baritone guitar. Those actually look kinda metal with the horns but sound super unique. I've never heard anyone use them for metal but I'm sure they work great for metal as long as you have a good noisegate/buzz suppression system. At any rate, yeah Danelectro guitars just kick ass. They have a unique tone and unique looks and are just super fun guitars regardless of what genre of music you're into.

[@sparky_the_sparky1680]

My faith in Danelectro is restored, now see if you can do the baritone, and drop F that thing. And dang, those pickups have some noise.

Wow. That doesn't sound half bad through the clean side of that Mesa. I'm genuinely shocked! 🤯

[@ffxiiangel]

Not sure why hearing this guitar chug was so satisfying.

[@thomasmalz4111]

Actually the middle position runs the two pickups in series, not mixed- the middle position is what made me buy one, it gives you this wildly transparent full sounding humbucker. Def has a specialized spot in my arsenal.

[@lytanshade]

Love your content, man. Be cool on the guitar chug reviews if you'd plug in a favourite Solar or Jackson at the end as a comparison. Since the tone is so influenced by amp/cab/mics etc.

I have a Danelectro U2 from like 1999 that is pretty sure made of plywood, but I like it, makes sounds none my other guitars can, but the tuneres are absolute trash sticky / jumpy shit that I should have changed, also needed to replace the bridge wood at least twice, and straighten out the bridge and put something under the middle so it doesnt bend

Agreed. Have you heard Metallica playing live and if so, do you get what I mean by saying that their tone sounds wet? It bothers me cause there’s something off with their live tone that sounds wet and shitty

[@celticfury7328]

Heavily reverb drenched tone comes to mind when I hear the descriptor "wet"...like surf music, or most of the digital delay and chorus soaked glam bands from the hairy scary 80s. I thought the Dano sounded more nasal...you know, like Neil Young's whiny hippy vocals from the early 70s? Now imagine that soul grating annoying sound, but with a midrange heavy microphone pointed directly at Neil's left nostril at point blank range...like that!

Celtic Fury hahaha yeah but it sounds so weird when it’s a distorted tone. Check out any live concert video from 2018-2019 and you should hear what I mean.

They were guitars built for the poor man, budget market. They have a unique sound and sound great clean ir riding the edge of feedback while making feedback part of what you are playing.

I was planning on buying a guitar just like this (but with a deep blue metalflake finish, instead of baby blue) back in early 2020, mainly to add something different to my collection...then COVID hit and I was laid-off from work. I was finally able to find a new job a few weeks ago and I would still love to get one of these at some point, but I haven't recovered financially enough yet to even think about it. I just hope that I can get one before they stop production on them or inflation causes their prices to skyrocket. I mainly play metal, but there's just something about a few Danelectro models that's oddly appealing to me.
