Retro love: Sound, looks, feel, price.

The Dano 63 is a remake of the original '63 electric guitar that launched a thousand garage bands and more than a few pro careers. The body construction is just like the original with a hardboard top and bottom laminated to a plywood frame. The hollow inner chamber produces the resonance that is part of Danelectro's unique tone.The '60s era lipstick pickups have been replicated to be hot, sweet, and to sound just right. The bridge and tuners are fully upgraded. Zero-gloss nickel hardware accents the cool retro colors. A blast!

Danelectro Dano '63

I received this guitar about 11 mos. ago, and I like it a lot. The lipstick p-ups have been upgraded, as they have used better metal/more turns of wire. The reason I am giving it a 4 for features as it seems to lack an adjustable truss rod. I am not positive, but I think it has a permanently set square/triangular one. However, that doesn't really matter to me and I simply adjusted the bridge and the action was fine. I got this as a backup guitar to my Highway 1 Strat, but man, it is better than I expected. The p-ups actually have more output than my Strat(!) They have a nice hollow sound when played clean, and the best tone is when you use a slight bit of overdrive, then it is very bluesy out of my Marshall AVT 50. Currently it is discontinued, but Danelectro, in my opinion, should continue production of this guitar.

Originally I bought the 63 re-issue Danelectro just because I had an original when I had a garage band in high school. I'm 64 and have some other guitars which are top of the line, so I didn't expect much. This is quantum leaps ahead of the original. Played great right of the box. The fit is sensational, as I like the smallness of it. The pickups really have a range that the original simply didn't have. Great highs, and lots of crunch on distortion. The tuners are much nicer and overall this is a lot of bang for the buck. I know guitars, and I'm very impressed.

Came great out of box

The guitar just came and it was set up great right out of the box. It was even almost in tune. I was suprised because I had played a few of these in the store and they were not set up well at all and had loose knobs. This one is beautiful and I can't put it down.
