Description
Danelectro’s lipstick pickup is one of guitar’s odd little miracles — housed in an actual lipstick tube casing, it produces a tone that’s thin on paper but massive in character. Seymour Duncan’s version doesn’t try to reinvent that formula, it just nails it. Built with Alnico magnets and a winding spec matched to vintage originals, this bridge-position single-coil captures the bright, glassy jangle that made these pickups a secret weapon for surf, country, and early rock tones.
Drop it into an original or reissue Danelectro and you’ll get exactly the snap and sparkle that guitar was built around — plenty of top-end cut for chicken-pickin’ and rhythm work, with enough grit hiding underneath for blues and jazz phrasing when you dig in.
- Vintage-correct bridge-position lipstick tube single-coil
- Alnico magnets with period-accurate winding for authentic output and tone
- Bright, articulate voice suited to surf, country, pop, blues, jazz, and classic rock
- Available as part of a matched neck/bridge set — the neck pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RW/RP), giving you a humbucking, hum-cancelling combination when both are used together
If your Danelectro needs its jangle restored or upgraded, this is the drop-in answer — no rewiring gymnastics, just the tone the guitar was designed to have.
