All user reviews for the Danelectro Dano Pro

Manufactured in china, maple neck 19 frets = C
pu = 2 lipsticks,
volume / tone, Blablablah selector 3 positions ...
Lovers jewelry noble guitar geeks woodwork, go your way, you have here a minimalist rock'n'roll guitar with a sound and a particular look. We like it or not. I love it.
The finish is satisfactory (at least with respect mine).
Change the strings, the rglez a strand, and go!
ROCK ON !!!


USE

The handle is pleasant, but a certain adjustment period is ncessaire Nevertheless if you play on Gibson for example, it is short and quite narrow but still very pleasant when the grip performs (an hour will do).
The access to the desti- nations most recently frets is not empty, after the douzime has become hot ...
Again, we did here in the particular and the minimum (taking understood hand). Know that you are holding a guitar with a sound that will not typ gifts certain styles of games clumsy or too little expriments but possde what is primarily a demand guitar; a sound that cares chills with a great signature! In addition it has a terrible look!
If you have the feeling, she will too. If you pay cash!


SONORITS

This guitar adfinitivement sound amazing! The mix lipstick + body mansonite dug at the microphones is magic! I am very fan of garages and sound this guitar makes me literally enjoy the ears ... She is not very versatile against (his very typ), we can all the same considerably enlarge the sound palette by changing amps, but the signature remains strong despite any type (also has to be loved).

One could compare the old Danish pro tlcaster dglingue; a twang, aa grain, a unique and incomparable sound we recognize at first hearing, both in clear that crunch / distortion.
For me, Danelectro guitars are really an absolute must (given the accessible price) ... I also possde a 59, and these are my two favorites ... yet I have some models tr s beefy all makes / models (I think close softly 20 guitars), but if I had to choose two, one Danelectro would be part of the lot, for sure!

Obviously, I am a fan of 50's garage rock 60's, Tom Waits etc ... So my opinion remains what it is.
If you love stoner rock guts or do as tapping steve Vai, I do not think this guitar is for you
although you never know ...

I use it in minimal configuration, image, ie mostly on petitee head 5w (epi junior head) with just a tube screamer maxon OD808 and a small slap delay, or so on ac15cc1 a vox: wonderful!
I had the opportunity to try it naked on a Black face = violent orgasm. Magic!
In short, it's a real pleasure to do a little blues or old rogue rocks under these conditions. What it sounds!




NOTICE GLOBAL

I use Danelectro recent years ... How to explain ...
The imperfections of this guitar makes its qualities. One could compare a digital film and a great band 8; The super 8 film is crappy but it's the one that I prefer!
In the same way as super 8 film, The Danelectro is a minimalist guitar with a grain and incomparable personality ... I want to say that this is the tlcaster the poor, with all that represents a. When I do the blues with a guitar 2500 euros, I always say that there is something wrong. The spirit of the blues is not either in price or in the brand, or in the woods or playing comfort. The spirit of rock either. I feel like an old fart western white privileged brutalized by his conditioning and losing sight of the deep instincts that drive him playing what they play.
Not musically, but in my head, it sounds wrong.
With the Danelectro I feel more in tune with the music I play, this guitar really has a mind! ... May seem silly but it's like a.

I would do this choice without hsiter, in fact I think buy a future (lives in open) ...

UTILIZATION

nice handle, no acute attack; negative of the guitar

SOUNDS

two single supporting too saturations. More "fat" in the middle position (the best position in my opinion). You can play everything (as with all guitars in my opinion). Predilection for blues and clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I prefer: the look and playability (small pitch). This is my guitar study, work or when I want to travel light. Small, you can play longer. Its rarity and brand are its strengths: everyone is "wow", "ho", when I go out: it does not leave you indifferent ... it will do the jpb in all cases.

Reissue Danelectro manufacturing Asia (Korea, China?) I think. Masonite body of course! Short handle and a little off but it does not bother me too I used to play on a half case or folk, but access to the treble is not very easy. Two microphones lipsticks selector 3 positions ...

UTILIZATION

Even so the handle is very nice, the shape of the guitar does not facilitate access to high frequencies.

SOUNDS

For sound, like a lot. The three positions are all interesting. Pickup slammed into it well, perfect for the old rock'n'roll (garage and Company). In middle comes out is warm highs and lows are not beautiful and slobbering, its very balanced. In neck pickup is warm with overdrive or amp it sounds far-fetched enough blues. Anyway for the price it sounds great and much better than a Squier or Epiphone in the same price range.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 or 3 years, in addition to my other guitars (see profile) is very good. I use it in rehearsal and live like it's always nice. The value for money is very cool guitars but they are relatively fragile (DE56 The selector of a friend has sunk in the box!). Let's say it would not have minded paying a little more expensive and have a sparkle paint (like the old) and a head like the old news.

Guitar factory in China ... same but not too bad. I doubt the order was ultimately holds up, especially for 215, we will not whine, either.
Channel 19 frets, with as usual at Danelectro lipstick pickups, which are the exact number of two, as you can see in the picture above.
The fixed bridge is Danelectresque, 3 holes, three screws, we set and you're done.
So you have a 3-way micro slecteur (neck / bridge / both in SERIES) + 1 volume + 1 Tone.
The handle is also Danelectresque is - say rather clumsy.

UTILIZATION

J'tais used to the sleeve of my Start, both say that when I came into the world of Danelectro had to do some finger-intensive training to Russia to slowly turn the handle ... but worth it. Now I find that even the handle of the Start is a bit thin.
Pass the 12 box, given the dcoupe the body, difficult to play ... but it is not a Danelectro bends to go to the box 19.
The weight is ultra-lightweight, due to the hollow body made of plywood spcial (masonite) ...
And sound, it is as we love with Dan, slamming, perant, unique!

SOUNDS

To influence the 50's / 60's, it's the ball.
I play on a Twin Reverb amplifier coupled to a low, gives a fine.
Rglages level, it is better to put the two pickups, volume and tone to stop, do not bother to do otherwise, a sound no better.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Danelectro past year, it just happened ... I find it almost more enjoyable than my Pro 56, the hardware looks to me more solid, and then look at ... frankly ... a killing!

It's almost too much even the pickguard is artificially aged ... you can almost make it really comes down style of the 60s ... You just hide the little "Made in China" derrire the head of the handle.

Order 215 euros unhappy in Germany, Misr sound and style of this guitar.

Only criticism that can be done, it lacks a little safe, but it has not, either we take the Danelectro.

Well, we are in the presence of a guitar rather nice although the color is less flashy than the pictures (Burgund for mine), we say duller, more matte. the weight is more than reasonable (You surprise me while agglo ..) the handle is 19 boxes, so rather short, trs in the spirit kay silvertone or 60's. at the same time it is the rditions amliorer the Dano Pro, scratches very rare because of the mythical golden sixties, so everything is explained.
two micro lipstick instead of only one cause, particularity of MODEL, the two microphones are connected in SERIES So when you put the switch to the middle, you get a humbucker sound limit (well, is not it in perspective, we are still far from a Burstbucker ...)
the finish is average, not indigent but hey, it feels cheap cot ..... trs quickly on mine, the plate on the back of the guitar badly screwed silent. but hey, she arrived shortly prt rule. the two knobs (volume and tone) are trs toys and the selector does not seem to last very long.
adhsive band around the body masonite (in fact against the plate) participates in the quaint charm of the model, the headstock is nice and trs mechanisms seem correct (to be confirmed on the hard)
215 including shipping in thotho, a purchase is a favorite not break the bank, but not expect the ultimate skyscraper. even on the finish, there's much better elsewhere for the same price, because not to mention the 57 junior Epi home a year ago that tore everything in terms of price quality ratio (blessed are those who buy a for a real y al P 90 gibs ..), some squier (the 51 in particular) offered better too, and no more expensive ....

come on, hop a good 6 / 10 as cheap and not too bad fucking finally, but not great either ... eh

UTILIZATION

Well despite his form a little "space", the guitar has a natural place in the sitting position, the handle (screwed) is rather comfortable, the strings are changing rapidly as the original it looks more like a wire fishing than anything else. The handle 19 boxes Drout a little at first but got used to it very quickly. Rather large but not huge either, quite comfortable living.
buttons graves under control. the bridge tends hooked the hands of those like me who play near it or it tends to rest their palm on it. So consider changing your habits.
short, it's not stratospheric, but we all know .....
for audio, we talk about the next chapter.

7 / 10 really nice to use

SOUNDS

This is the it becomes confusing .....
vacuum it sounds good, it's not a gretsch 6122 either, but it sounds. branch in a very clear light, it's clear! crystal-clear even in the acute, is to play arpeggios or picking, back above the Byrds or floyd barrett period and we really believe it ... the intermediate position can crunch Legris, but hey, it does not give his best in this condition.
Distortion channel is activated less immediate, a request to settle a little EQ of the amp to get the best, and the intermediate position, has done really well ... "interstellar overdrive "and" Astronomy Domine "Quiet!
Needless to say, neither the hard nor the metal, not even the big rock stonien pele does this, just stuff a little delicate, folk, "White Summer" of the Yardbirds, blues roots well in picking, the it does little serious .... also see a nice little garage rock to the sonics. I had a blast a resume "Strychnine" on it ... the White Stripes are not far away.

and a good 8 / 10 forthe sound, but not all sounds ... do not make me say what I say.

OVERALL OPINION

In résumé is anything but a scratch happens everywhere, not versatile two bullets, but at the same time, what we are fucking a versatile scraper? on it is not for everyone, but who wants to be everyone?
no, it's a guitar of characters, which has its own identity and sound short, a real instrument alive with me although she has, he must learn to tame it. I know this is subjective, but here it is, when you buy one, no one buys a pacifica 112 ... not the same approach.
Personally, I bought it for my daughter (10 years) so that it starts and it works its range. Indeed, the guitar is lgre, comfortable, and possesses a real clear sound. couple has a little Vox Pathfinder 10, it can start the guitar with real instruments, sound quality and that for less than 300 amp included.
OK, I admit, it's still well east vintage, but hey, I did not see me give him a Yamaha (motorcycles are not?) And a Berhinger, or worse, a pack jim harley .... once the disgust making music.
And since there is more chance that I teach him "Pipeline" and "Misirlou" that "forbidden games ".....
short, we live Danelectro offers vintage instruments for the price of a pedal effect. is what I would do it again? More ways than one!

8 / 10 in total, but with a proper finish on 10 silent in sight ...

What to look the Danelectro!
I've had about a month, personally I chose the color Tangerine and I find it really succeeds. It is small and generally well proportioned.
Finish level, it is the made in china, can do better, but hey, compared to the price is not too bad.
The bridge on mine is not adjusted tip top and seems a little bias but hey, it does not seem to have consequences.
Also the handle did not seem to be perfect rule, knowing that I buy my guitar hand so I do not know if this defect was present at the origin, the more it is already experiencing several shipments by the Postal Service despite his young age (model bought new last summer).

UTILIZATION

Usage is quite pleasant, the handle is short, but that does not default, breaks are more accessible.
It is light and fun to play.
Only negative, the switch position of microphones that is poorly positioned for my taste, it is not uncommon, in fact, the trigger during the game, which is a bit énnervant.

SOUNDS

Here it becomes downright interesting, and even more amazing for its price range.
The sound is decidedly vintage, this is my first Danelectro, and I think I'm becoming a fan.
Use a clean sound is purely down to the sound is so open and dry!
With distortion cettte small guitar sends a lot of juice casually!
Even if the sound is decidedly vintage, I find that the proposed range of sounds is still consistent thanks to the micro switch has three positions.

OVERALL OPINION

That is, a guitar with character I like.
While finishing fishing a little, look great, the sound that kills and the price (which also kills: 160 euros used) more than justify the purchase.
A guitar that I'm not about to sell!

A little history: In 1947 Nathan Daniels begins making amps Electar (Socit owned Epiphone). In 1954 he sells the Premire Danelectro guitars: no Chres, factories in the United States, they are destined primarily for beginners who can not afford the Fender or Gibson onreuses more. Daniels continues to build as a subcontractor and most of its productions eventually under other names, including Silvertone. The socity is doing well and every day until two hundred guitars leave the factory in New Jersey. But these guitars will also sduire more experienced guitarists, including a Jimmy Page. Most of MODELS Danelectro, a lightweight body and atypical Masonite (Contents mystrieuse, in fact, against the plate), single coil pickups vritables surroundings of the red tube Vres (lipstick), cheap-sounding but especially INTERESTED original design trs typ years 50-60. Danelectro MODELS propose to design classic like The series G, but also innovative MODELS REALLY like Longhorn, the Dano Pro, twelve string and double handles. In 1968, Danelectro out in full hippie PERIOD an "electric sitar" electrified census reproduce the sound of Indian sitar! But in 1969 the firm closed its doors: the Asian invasion begins and Danelectro can fight. Renat the socity in 1998 and offers including pedals cheap but quality honorable, vintage-inspired. The guitars come out of the catalog in dropper and small quantity. Ds collectors of their release!
The Dano Pro we INTERESTED was produced from 1963 1964. The original is a MODEL 3 / 4, a single lipstick quip. The masonite, plywood against the poplar is back and the table. It surrounds a central sandwich are in pine. This guitar is like a box Whereas a semi-hollow and not as a full case, despite appearances. The bridge / tailpiece silent fixed, not adjustable. The rdition of 2005. The current, however DIFFERENT MODEL on several points: the pitch is 25 "or 635mm, the guitar is now team of two lipstick pickups, microphones and electronic revisit t have s and has a bridge / tailpiece adjustable. is found by the body against atypical plate against Masonite, with its handle Saddle rosewood fingerboard and 19 boxes.

Body: Masonite / Plywood
Scale: 25 ", 635mm, Saddle Bolt in C-profile, rosewood fingerboard 19 boxes
Radius: 14 "
Pickups: 2 single coils in lipstick Mountains SERIES
CONTRL: Master volume, master tone, 3-position slecteur
Supplied without cover

Mine is colored aqua blue ah got the right of the 50's! The design is superb, original, indmodable, inimitable. A real favorite. One of my guitars prfres, and yet I have some beautiful trs MODELS ...

The quality of manufacture is unfortunately remains era: no glory! On the other ct for 300 euros ... difficult to say that it is well built! But his qualities are not the ...

UTILIZATION

Its qualities are not the ...
The guitar is poorly RULES of origin: I had to correct the action too low, bordered on the E string. The rglage the bridge is not prcis (fixed by 3 screws !!!).
The handle is ... particular. Not for shreders is sr. Finally playable all the same and not uncomfortable.
CHAC in boxes "acute" is dlicat: the junction body / neck is the 14ME box without cutaway! 19 boxes is enough because you have dj russia reach them.
Holding agreement is random image: Beware of bends and supported by powerful blows mdiator!
Slecteurs the volume and tonality are not progressive at all, it plutt on / off: prcisment difficult to dose and it is a shame.

How all this will he in time?

SOUNDS

Well here we go!
When empty, the guitar sounds good: it is, remember, a semi-hollow body.
Once connected, welcome to the 50s: a clear and crystalline. It's been twang, it's brilliant, chattering. But that's not all. Danelectro had the good FDI cbler her lipstick in SERIES, not parallle. Your exact? A configuration similar to a humbucker, a consquent output level and a more round. That allows to address crunch well supported and very dirty play rock.
Add slecteurs volume and tonal control adjusts the treble and output level: what qualified heavy distortion. You need a little boost with a more aggressive and want to play a blues hot: the position intermdiaire agree! Too bad that so little progressive slecteurs!
In any case, once branch impossible not to fall in love: sounds kind trs years 50-60 and a mounting SERIES Confre him a double personality .
Although sr wish we could have a switch SERIES / parallle. We could have ... but really who cares.

OVERALL OPINION

RULES poorly, poorly done, poorly constructed, but what a charm: irrsistible! The unique design and rtro, typs sounds, this guitar is incomparable. Despite its many rdhibitoires default that would be for any other instrument, impossible not to fall in love. What inimitable characters!
If you find one in Russia, the price jump on the immediately.

Made in China, 19 frets neck = maple C
pu = 2 lipsticks,
volume / tone, 3 position selector Blablablah ...
Jewelry lovers and noble wood guitar geeks go your way, here you have a minimalist rock'n'roll guitar with a sound and a distinctive look. We like it or not. I love it.
The finish is good (at least with respect mine).
Change the strings, adjust a bit, and go!
ROCK ON!


UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, but some time adaptation is necessary, however if you play on Gibson for example, it is short and quite narrow but still very nice once the grip done (an hour will suffice).
Access the latest frets is not obvious, after the twelfth it gets hot ...
Again, it is here in particular and the minimum (handling included). Know that you are holding a guitar with a sound type, which will not make gifts to certain styles of games clumsy or too inexperienced, but has what it calls primarily a guitar sound that cares chills with a beautiful signature! In addition she looks terrible!
If you have the feeling, she will too. Otherwise you'll pay cash!


SOUNDS

This guitar definitely sounds amazing! The mixing lipstick + body mansonite dug at the microphones is magic! I am a big fan of garage sounds and this guitar makes me literally enjoy the ears ... It is not very versatile cons (its very typical), it can still significantly expand the sonic palette by changing amps, but the signature still remains strong typed (this is also why we love him ).

We could compare the Danish pro telecaster an old dilapidated; twang it, it has grain, a unique and incomparable that recognizes the first hearing, both clear that crunch / distortion.
For me, Danelectro guitars are really an absolute must (because of the accessible price) ... I also have a 59, and these are my two favorites ... I, however, some very beefy models all makes / models (I think near me gently 20 guitars), but if I had to choose two, a Danelectro would be part of the lot, for sure!

Obviously, I'm a fan of garage rock 50's 60's, Tom Waits etc. ... So my advice remains what it is.
If you love stoner rock or guts to do as Steve Vai tapping, I do not think this guitar is made for you
although, you never know ...

I use it in minimal configuration, its image, that is most often a head petitee 5w (epi junior head) with just a tube screamer maxon OD808 and a little slap delay, or while on a vox ac15cc1: it's wonderful!
I had the opportunity to try it naked on a Black face = violent orgasm. Magic!
In short, it's a real pleasure to do a little blues or old rocks in foul conditions. What it sounds!


OVERALL OPINION

I use Danelectro past few years ... How do you explain ...
The imperfections of this guitar are his qualities. One could compare it to a digital movie and a great band 8; The band is super 8 cradingue but this one is my favorite!
Just as the band Super 8, The Danelectro guitar is a minimalist with a grain and a unique personality ... I want to say that the telecaster of the poor, with all it represents. When I play blues with a guitar at 2500 euros, I always tell myself that there is something wrong. The spirit of the blues is not there, neither in price nor the mark, or in the woods or playing comfort the spirit of rock either. I feel like an old fart white privileged Western brutalized by his conditioning and losing sight of the deep instincts that push him to play what he plays.
Not musically but in my head, it sounds wrong.
With Danelectro I feel more in tune with the music I play, this guitar really has a mind! ... it may seem silly but true.

I would do without hesitation that choice, I also believe in buying one soon (live in open) ...
