While the original 59 is all about jangly sparkle, the 59X beefs it up with a humbucking Lipstick bridge pickup that can be coil-split for vintage tones. Paired with the big single coil at the neck, it balances the trademark airy Dano chime with extra punch. The semi-hollow body keeps it light and resonant, and the centre block helps rein in feedback when things get loud.
