Detail 01
20% hotter neck pickup; 30% hotter bridge pickup
Both 1950s-spec Lipstick pickups have increased output, with the bridge pickup receiving the larger increase.

Independent shopping perspective
Dan O. Cool is the six-string DANO model for players who want Lipstick-pickup brightness with more output into a pedal-based rig. Its hotter 1950s-spec neck and bridge pickups retain the quick, open response associated with this design while giving fuzz, overdrive, compression, and modulation more signal to work with. The hardboard top and back sit on a solid spruce frame for a lightweight build. A bolt-on hard maple C neck, rosewood board, and 25-inch scale keep the playing platform straightforward for rhythm and lead work.
