Description
If you love that unmistakable Danelectro twang—bright, glassy, a little bit surf, a little bit rockabilly—this is the pickup that started it all. Seymour Duncan built this Lipstick Tube as a faithful recreation of the original American design, right down to the Alnico magnets and the winding specs that give these tiny single-coils their signature snap.
Don’t let the size fool you. Despite the slim tube housing, this pickup delivers a lively, articulate voice that’s perfect for rhythm work and cuts through a mix without turning harsh. Think country pickers, surf instrumentals, jangly pop, laid-back blues, jazz comping, and even classic rock rhythm tones—this pickup covers that whole territory with ease.
Available for both neck and bridge positions, so you can build a matched set for your original or reissue Danelectro. Here’s the clever bit: the neck version is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RW/RP), meaning when you run it together with the bridge pickup, you get a humbucking effect with dead-quiet hum cancellation in the middle position—all while keeping that vintage single-coil character intact.
