Danelectro '57 Guitar & '59 Divine Demo

I’ve got a Korean built ‘57 Danelectro model that looks identical to the one played here. Absolutely holds its own or goes one better than every other traditionally constructed electric guitar I own. A pressed fibre board and batten body with an almost enamelled paint finish, wrapped in vinyl tape, bolted-on neck and very basic hardware. And it sounds glorious. I played it acoustically, fell in love with it and had it shipped to my country before I even plugged it in. I bought my old Strat after a similar experience of string resonance, neck feel and weight on a strap. Just so inspiring to play and record with it.

I wish they had those dark chocolate rosewood fingerboards again. I’ve owned 2 and the fingerboard on both of them was a beautiful dark brown. The one I kept is white with gold hardware, a ‘59 anniversary I believe

The pots are a bit awkward but they both sound nice :)

How do you move the saddles to change intonation? The string is right over the screw. Great video thank you.

Whats the neck like on this? Chunkier or medium or slim? thanks!
