Any other Dano lovers in here? I've got a few guitars that I love but I always come back to this piece. It's cheap and by most accounts, a crap guitar but I love the sound of those lipstick pickups and something about it keeps me grabbing it to play constantly, despite owning much better guitars. Best $280 I ever spent. Plus, hey, the pickguard looks like a seal. The only thing I might change is swapping out the pickup selector switch for a switchcraft or something nicer. Mine makes terrible noises when I even look at it funny, and that was brand new out of the box.

spray some deoxit into that switch.

i love cheapos. got a few that all cost me less than $400 and i wouldnt part with em.

I had a U2 baritone reissue that I sold because I didn't use it. It looked good, but I felt a bit dirty using a Danelectro thing. Well, I got it second hand so I guess that's ok.

Love Danos!
Have had the normal 63 and baritone 63 and a baritone 67(got modded into Bass VI after a while).
Had Daniel baritones as my main guitars for 2.5 years.

All the electric guitars on our first album is Danos.

My friend traded his gibson sg for a danelectro, straight up.

I've always wanted to try one but never see them around somehow. What are the necks like on them? Chunky, skinny?

^reissue Dano necks are skinny, originals I think are thicker.

I had a Danelectro for three years but I couldn't get along with the neck's thinness and the flat fret board. It sounded really good with both pickups on though.

Yeah I only play with both pickups. Sounds kind of strangled with just one.

I've always wanted one o' these:

Some day, i will build a DC 59/Rickenbacker 330 hybrid with Mastery trem. Oh. Yes. I will!

Battered and dearly beloved. Strung with 10 Strings.

I have the same guitar. Sounds so good. I got it for my wife cause the skinny neck fit her dainty lady hands but I end up picking it up a lot. Every time I get a new pedal I think "what will those dano pickups sound like through this?" The neck is a too skinny at the nut for me to get too crazy on it but its still fun. My main dirt pedal has a momentary feedback loop and the dano's stacked pots make for some crazy bleeping and blooping.

Played my friend's Convertible recently and loved it. I thought it had a really great sound. Feeds back like a motherfucker, though—can't imagine what playing that thing in a loud band situation would be like, haha...
