    Default Danelectro guitars - are they still available?

    I know Danelectro had started making guitars again a few years ago for a very decent price, but now I can't find them anywhere. Do any of you know what's up with them? Their website is AWFUL!

    I checked out a guitarshop here and they had two new U56 and a Innuendo.. at least they seemed to be "new" guitars. I havent seen much news from them lately, so perhaps they have focused on their effect pedals only?
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I want the one Jimmy Page used on 'Black Mountain Side' and 'Kashmir'. I love its tone.

    They say the new reissues are better thant the original late 90's reissues, but those previous reissues were more faithful to the original Danelectros, so choosing either reissue depends on what you're looking for.

    I have a 1998 aqua U2 reissue and I love it. It's stock except that I removed the side tape (it was peeling), substituted the original concentric knobs for a pair of chromed concentric knobs taken off an old car AM radio, and made a pickguard based on the original, out of an old Tele pickguard. I also routed the body at the base of the neck to have easy access to the truss rod.

    the "new" Dano website is really terrible.. it used to be better some years ago, when they were making the RI`s...

    Trem, U can check Ebay for the Danos too. There are always some there..

    Kerc: That the routing and the lil` cover for the truss rod is smart man! I wish I had one of those U2 danos...

    I saw a ton of guitars in a guitar store somewhere, I don't remember which store but there were alot of em, pretty much all I saw were guitars with those lipstick pickups, they also had laney amps, I might just go back there one day and play around a bit, I think they do make guitars still.

    I see they have some new reissues for '07... I'll keep checking up on that site until I find the one I've been yearning for.

    Shouldn't this thread be down in the other section , certainly not in FENDER... The newer dano's are pretty much crap , terrible necks and build quality is sketchy at best .. I have playe a few that friends own and certainly cant recommend them ...

    And this is somekinda big change from the ones they used to build????
    These arent high end technical guitars...these are reproductions of the cheap old guitars you could buy from Sears and the like...like Silvertones.

    Better or worse quality than Silvertone?

    Do you even like blues? Alternate tunings? Baritones?

    What kinda quality are you looking for when playing a masonite guitar?
