I got a Danelectro 56 ru and love it. Im curious to other guitars with that similar old blues tone. I know some brands like harmony, kay ,silvertone, but cant really find what im looking for. Thanks

The Ibanez Talman also has lipstick tube pickups. There are also plenty of reasonably priced replacement pickups out there that are direct replacements for strat style guitars. They have their own sound, but they are really weak.

I own a Sears Silvertone single pickup guitar that was made in 1958 and sounds fantastic.

The classic garage/grunge noisey sound. Like Jay Reatard, or even some In Utero tones.

MMmmm, though one, as any pick up will get you some sort of garage tone.

Imho, i think it is much more to do with the pedals, and or amp you are using.

Cobain used single coils, Jazzmasters (phatt single coils, but not like P90-fat), and humbuckers.

I would be more inclined to modify a strat clone with lipstick tube pickups, rather than buy a danelectro. The strat is going to be more practical from a hardware perspective and have better playability.
