Description

What makes this guitar special: This vintage Danelectro is in great shape for its age! It plays beautifully up and down the fretboard, and the lipstick pickup delivers a uniquely warm and desirable sound. Features a cool coke bottle headstock and a beautiful Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Comes professionally setup by the experts at Cream City Music, so it will arrive ready to play.

Cosmetic condition: Very good overall condition for a 60 year old guitar. There are various scratches, scuffs, nicks, dings, and dents throughout the body of the instrument, and a few small wear spots in the finish on the back of the neck. The Danelectro logo has been removed from the headstock. Structurally, this guitar is in excellent playing condition. The fingerboard shows very few signs of wear, and the frets are in great shape.

Body: Semi-hollow poplar framed body with masonite top and back. The white vinyl sides have aged nicely into a cream color, and the clear pickguard is in excellent shape with no cracking. Fixed stainless steel bridge with rosewood saddle.

Weight: 6lb, 2oz

Neck: Solid poplar neck with gray side dots and white dot inlays. Brazilian rosewood fingerboard is in excellent condition, and frets show very few visible signs of wear. Coke bottle headstock with open-gear tuners and cream colored buttons. Aluminum nut measures 1 5/8”. 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight and plays great up and down the fretboard.

Electronics: Single lipstick pickup provides beautiful warm tone with plenty of bite. Pots are replacements and date to '71. 3-way switch and aged white knobs with black line indicators.

Case: Gig bag included.
