MGR/Zak Sterling « Danelectro Innuendo »
Published on 11/03/02 at 15:00Purchased from Dawsons in Liverpool (UK) in October 2002 for £129 in sale. A bit of an impulse buy.
Great variety of tone from the three single coil pickups. This coupled with the on-board special effects providing distortion, chorus, tremelo and echo make the instrument very versatile. Also it is easy to play and was well set up requiring minimal tweaking from the outset. Slightly odd looking guitar and very much in line with the Danelectro style of producing distinctive and unique guitars. I also have a Danelectro U2 which is superb for blues. The Innuendo is quite a heavy guitar but well built and by no means too heavy to be comfortable. Suitable for home, studio or stage. Strat type tones are all there but it distorts pretty well also. Main like though is the inspirational range of sounds that can be conjoured up once you are familiar with the settings.
It would be nice to save 5% on the weight and the colours are rather restricted - mine is a gold/black sunburst type effect with silver sparkles - not exactly my favourite colours but certainly distinctive and I will live with it because the guitar sounds great.
Solid body, maple neck and rosewood fingerbaord. Three single coils, five way selector, volume and tone control, four on board effects and two effects controls. Two outputs one with effects and one without. This means you can play through two amps and get different effects through each. Generally appears well built. Effects driven by a single 9v battery.
Very pleased with the guitar - especially at the sale price. I like guitars that are a bit different and this certainly is different. Plays well, sounds great and should provide years of good service. Plays far better than some Fenders I have had over the years.
