The Danelectro electric guitars bolt-on poplar neck has a rosewood fretboard, and bottle shaped headstock with open-back 3 in-line tuners. The Danelectro 50th Anniversary electric guitar's most distinctive features of this guitar are its lipstick pickups, originally consisting of alnico bar magnets and copper wiring wrapped in brown tape and mounted in what were surplus chrome-plated, lipstick tubes.

The original 1959 Danelectro electric guitar bridge had a metal base with notches that held the ball-end strings, and a rosewood saddle. Other features included white knobs on dual concentric tone and volume controls, a white seal-shaped pickguard, and a non-adjustable aluminum truss rod.
