All user reviews for the Danelectro 56-U2

Model made in Korea

The bridge is metal, with a wooden plate that supports the strings. Concerns, the wood wears it ... but hey, it's part of the charm.

21 frets, 2 lipstick pickups with a simple switch bridge / neck / both.

With two volume buttons, nice detail, tone independently for each microphone.

The neck and body wood tree. Know which tree ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite happening everywhere, the handling is very fast.
Ergonomic level ... well ... how to say ... already the strap system that attaches in the handle is not a horror of practice the guitar hanging out, I'm not super fan.
access to acute is not fantastic, but finding that his playground is the next big rhythm a little fat than that of the solo & co, it does not bother me.

Do you get a good sound easy? Oooooooh, yes!

SOUNDS

I will not make friends, but let's be honest:
I find this scratch is a nightmare. It is not ergonomic, it would have been almost empty one's Fisher Price, the mechanics are very poor, there is plastic everywhere, the violin seems still very debatable ...

BUT, I do not know by what miracle, once plugged into my little Fender Blues Junior (with a Big Muff in between), the sound is terrible!
Neck pickup, the light is banging just enough, even without pushing the amp a little crunch that is super sexy ... really?
By pushing the saturation a bit, there are wonderful crunch, and even beyond, for the very large rock it retains a charm.

Central position we catch a kind of a little garish color that reminds me almost my Gretsch. There I even want to try a clean sound, no time for messing around, I blow up the big muff any binge, and brothels, how it sounds!

Bridge position, the same with less bass and brightness limited to reasonable limits. I think this is where the combo Fender / Dano is the most effective ... although in central ... mmmm ... and also with the neck pickup, too, these big bass there.

Well, well, you'll understand that scratching sound was really, really great.
It will not please everyone, it is clear, but the blues / rock / heavy rock that spot, I'm really happy!

OVERALL OPINION

Conclusion: As discussed above, I do not know what is happening with the scraper. On paper it is a nightmare, and yet we can not let go once you have tasted. Is it just that, it is called the charm of a legendary instrument? Defects we learn to love? At least for my part, I am more packaged.

I've had one month, and it completes my collection.

The value for money ... if you look at the "quality" generally very cheap, you could say it means. But when you see the sound that comes out of hell, for a price ranging between 250 and 300 €, let's be serious, it's free!

Do I regret my choice? No, and I think to offer him other little sisters of the brand, certainly Dano Pro, one of these four

OVERALL OPINION

I play it for 2 years.
I love the look, ct cheap, the lgret. There is no need to grant every ten minutes. I never pt string above
Report quality / price? Perfect

See below the other opinions ...
maintenance agreement it correctly but no more, I recovered opportunities in deregulated status as a post, it was necessary to adjust the neck and string height was a massacre ...

UTILIZATION

- Handle moderately pleasant, I am much more comfortable on my Takamine or my Sheraton ...
- Very light weight, you can do with yo-yo ... it is very small, I still find it difficult to adjust to its size, it's been years since I used to play with the big cases (Jumbo Takamine, Epiphone half cash, so ...)

The violin is really average, and that's a shame ... the buttons are very cheap plastic, the mechanical hard and very average quality, but hey, you get to give and to be fair but still ... Again a small oil bath was not superfluous

SOUNDS

Raah sound is where this guitar is almost débile...10/10 captain!
serious warm position, position acute sixties rock'n'roll, with medium punch position incorporated all trades managing the tone knob and volume of both pickups ... in short, palette sixties, jazz, indie, rock, western spaghetti too ... class and personality ...
ask me what it's worth with the distortion, I play ... in clear or slightly crunch ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months, bought second-hand, black (I chose the cream if there was the possibility, but hey ...)
she looks great, sounds extra for the rest of it done with small defects but focuses on this little ...
it's still amazing to have one like him for that price ...
I have an Epiphone Sheraton next door, so they are really complementary: the sheraton has held a more "serious", mature, to the sounds of jazz or laid, the Danelectro something more fufu, also more versatile, more teenage if you want, but its flexibility can also make sound move towards something more laid ...
So here's one that I really regret not having bought at most I think any change at the mechanics if possible ...

Making Korean
21 frets, 2 lipsticks simple microphones, wired in series it seems to me, but to check ..
bridge, uh .. a piece of wood on a metal plate, all fixed by three screws nasty ..
hollow composite I do not know what.
1 volume and 1 tone with microphone, placed one over the other and a 3 position selector
a big fat handle that fulfills the hand of an honest man

on paper, it has nothing to exciting but visually, it has a certain charm, very dated sixties ..
I put 9 because the key is the sound that comes out of this assembly strange!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a bit confusing at first, with a very touching "sound cheap," but after a few hours, printing disappears, must be tamed a bit, what ..
anyway, it's not a race "flattering", so for technical demonstrations, look at Ibanez if I am!

Access to the acute is quite limited, the cut is wide, but the heel comes quickly to block the hand, at least in academic position, position "blues" can get the last box with no problem

this guitar weighs just heavier than a cell phone, what is puzzling about the sound that emanates from it ..

SOUNDS

Sound .. is a kind of small miracle! water into wine .. not a sweet white, rather a Cotes du Rhone a little rough, if you see .. you could probably play a lot of things on it, but this seems scratches made for rock n 'roll .. the cable into the amp, a little crunch, and hop riffs keep coming .. jumping jack flash, all day and all of the night, communication breakdown, my generation., and after an hour the apartment smells of powder and sweat and we would drink a keg of booze well ..

good, more seriously, in clear or light to medium saturation, the sound has a unique personality; Péchu, not a dirty, with little sustain but a very bad temper! the output level is quite low, so you have to push the amp a little, but it is all the best ..

the bass and treble pickups perform very well function and a great addition to the intermediate position that sends a severe boost ..
the volume and tone knobs are not very practical to handle separately from one another, but hey I do not use it much ..

then, for very large saturation, it does not much .. a kind of nasty fuzz, not very nice .. for this purpose, there are more appropriate instruments ..

OVERALL OPINION

I have this little bomb for a few weeks and I play it every day ..

As a guitar addict obsessive, I'm getting a lot of guitars at home (much to the chagrin of my savings account ..) and I know I will not regret having adopted it, this is a copy of any other, has its strengths and limitations, and is wildly endearing!

I bought mine at 300 euros a luthier who did a little consignment shop, so it was perfectly set, which is always nice .. it seems a decent investment, no regrets!

See above

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs, ergonomics is good, it is especially lgre.
The sound is a little rough but nice trs.

SOUNDS

It's perfect what I like to play: rock simple nergique. I branch no effect in a marshall 8080 mostly on the Distortion channel with or without overdrive.
I find its worse with a crystalline rglage .. it's a bit "flat"

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is great. I use it for more than 4 years before me ... and Jimmy Page (not mine eh ...)
idalie for the big sound che ... out a curious, indeed, of those little lipstick pickups.
I bought a new mouth of bread (150E) and I have no regrets.

Made in Korea (like what they bossent getting better there ...)
Easel wood / metal replaced by Allparts USA.

The technical specifications have already been reported by other users.
Otherwise I would not try to match the prose of my comrades, it's perfect! Everything is there!

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable for those who like the old folk and other instruments that are played "way back in there" <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
Personally it suits me perfectly. The shape is very nice, the balance is good.
Ergonomics: the weight is just incredible, it's very nice to play on for hours without tiring. Access to acute is not great because we are quickly disturbed by the belt clip attachment + body-neck a bit thicker.
Above all: it sounds very easily. The knobs are effective, the microphones were just a buzz when Groos tendency to have spent close to a TV screen ... RAM flat screens!

SOUNDS

This guitar just "squeaking" is the perfect complement to a guitar sound thicker, Gibson type.
Me I double my lines with my disto and Danish models have the full sound spectrum of a guitar: the bold and sharp. The Danish transperse the mix without needing to match the power of a humbucker.
I also love the sounds it delivers clear, deep, warm and with more personality that a stratum.
Even before connecting, playing "dry", the sound is pleasant enough to use in your room. " The body is semi-hollow, do not forget. In any case it contains more air than a traditional solid body.
I plugged into a Marshall JCM 2000, during a Fender try to see if I get deeper still clean.
on the other hand, one thing is clear, even fine tuned, if you double it jumps another guitar to the ears: it sounds slightly wrong! A pronounced chorus effect is created between the two sounds. Whose fault is it? At the easel! No compensation can be separated with jumpers. That is why I bought an easel as those fitted to newer models. After setting it should. Personally mechanics do not bother me, she hold well. The nut can be cracked metallic harmonics everywhere, it sounds bright lipstick and hold the road even fuzz. I will try out a shield electronics still ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 or 4 years and I am always amazed adiction side of the instrument. When I just want to play I go often to her than to my dryer and my Gibson. The sound is very flattering and this little guitar just waiting to get better ...
I ordered just after the cessation of production of this particular model on the internet at a shop in south-west. I had tried one in Marseille and saw that all the 56 U2 are all strictly identical (for reasons of production methods and materials used), no surprises. This is one of the few instruments that can be ordered remotely without trying it. Not as a stratum or in the same range for the same price we found a board and a guitar infamous correct (eg series or even the Fender Mex).
The price / quality ratio is excellent, even unbeatable. The theory of "it's cheap because it is not good" does not apply here. From the moment we know their specialties and limitations, we can only be satisfied. It is well worth more than the price you pay! In hindsight, I not only welcome this purchase but I am ready to do it again as soon as possible! Considering the price of cars is very tempting!

I can not put a note (probably a bug) but I give it 9 / 10 for small flaws, but as someone said we attach to it too quickly, it's part of his personality <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
