Topic: Dano
Has any one ever heard of a danelectro? No one that i know has ever heard of the brand and i have a guitar by them from the sixties. If any one has any info please tell me.
Re: Dano
Yeah, I had never heard of them either, until my friend decided to sell off most of his guitars. I ended up buying a Danelectro Hodad 12-string from him-awesome sound and playability. I don't think they make the 12 strings anymore. The one I have is of great build quality, made in Korea, with sweet lipstick pickups. Good brand

Re: Dano
If you have one of the originals from the Sixties then it's a collectable. Stores couldn't hardly give those guitars away until Jimmy Page appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone holding one...then suddenly they were hot. They are cheaply built from aluminum and masonite with lipstick tube pickups but have a very distinctive sound...I really like mine for slide playing. The current models are being built in Korea and are probably a better guitar than the original but obviously don't have the collectability value. I remember Sears marketing some under the Silvertone name with an amplifier built into the hard case...

Mine is a 2000 model, but it has an "amp in bag", a little 9V battery-powered thing that has a handy case built into the bag (it's removable, unlike the one you speak of). Kind of a cool concept-that means I can go anywhere with my Dano without hauling my 30-watt around.
