skankdelvar Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) [b]1990's Danelectro 56 U2 £115 Collected [/b] Ungigged from a smoke-free home, this is an original Korean re-issue in ‘Limo Black’ and one of the first imported when the brand was rebooted back in the 90’s. Considered by many to be the most sonically accurate of the Dan RI’s, this one has the correct headstock shape, the wooden bridge saddle, dual concentric pots and the (correct) lower output lipstick pickups. The pup selector switch is authentically intermittent in function but always lets a signal through. A nice easy player which goes from a pleasing chime to a garage-y roar depending on your amp / settings. Cosmetically excellent for a (nearly) 20 year old guitar. To circumvent the well-known ‘bridge collapse’ scenario I’ve applied the Dan Erlewine fix (a round headed screw in the right place) and also shimmed the neck for a teeny touch of back angle. No case but a (Gibson-logo’d) gig bag can be supplied for a fiver. Please PM me if you have any questions Cash on collection from BA15 or (subject to agreement) will meet or will deliver within 100 miles of BA15 Edited March 4, 2014 by skankdelvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 My first guitar way back when was one of these, in a funky terracotta/salmon pink finish. Wish I still had it, nice and light, cool sound, if I had the cash I'd be buying this. GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
