    i've been dreaming about getting one of these since I saw it, it's like the one for me, but none of the music stores carry danelectro products outside of pedals so it's been tough for me to find and actually try out, but I know when I finally get my hands on one I'll be in heaven. GREAT video thanks for going through everything so well, so excited to get this some day

    NOT the strat styled one with on board EFX but the simpler version...
    Have you ever thought of getting a baritone? Might be a perfect addition to your arsenal.

Punch was missing in 90's reissue ... I traded my Dano..back in the day for a Conrad Bison ...similar to hound dog taylors....had Zero fret also an that Dano jangle in it to...nice guitar ...sweet tones👍👍👍

    • @60CycleHumcast

      David Walter it’s slightly lighter than my squier tele, which I consider a fairly light guitar. Tiles can vary from guitar to guitar due to the density of the wood though.

    Great review as always and I really like the tremolo version of this model so I'm leaning in that direction. But it was good to hear the sounds of the different pickup configurations and your thoughts on the overall design and materials. Curious how high-quality would you say the tone control is and is it usable or more of like an on-off switch? Also, I have heard these guitars are semi hollow and I'm wondering the weight of this guitar compared to typical solid bodies?

    There are Korean reissues (maybe just U1 and U2) from the mid 90s with rosewood bridge. I've watched vids for a U1 and it has an awesome clean jazzy tone. Frankie Cosmos (Greta Kline) gets some of my favorite guitar tones ever with her vintage(?) U1

      i missed that the danelectro was part of this conversation, lol. The dano is a different beast all together, It feels funky (in a fun way) where the fenders are going to be a more normal guitar experience. I would try one before you buy, or buy from somewhere that accepts returns incase its not your style. If you like the way it feels though, the dano is more versatile tonally.

    Really surprised to see you going with the X vs the XT model with the tremolo - you being the surf guy and all! Otherwise, I believe they're the exact same guitar. Any reason using the X vs the XT? By the way, as I understand it these guitars are hollow with a center block down the middle which is interesting. Also the 25 inch (PRS length) scale is unique and likely contributes to its sound.

Dano sent me the guitar without any additional communication or information. I did the review and then wrote Dano to let them know and requested return shipping and they told me to keep it. So technically this was a situation where i was given the product but i didn't know that until the work was done, lol. I do love this guitar though and im excited to do additional coverage of it.

      @ehsteveglp Před 3 lety

      I recently got the XT from Sweetwater... I really like this guitar, play it every day and find myself saying that every time I wipe it down after playing. The one thing I hated (actually two as they're connected) from the moment I picked it up was the boxy joint where the neck meets the body and the placement of the strap button right there as well just above the 12th fret. Within just a few minutes of playing it I knew it was a keeper and briefly contemplated possible solutions... within the hour I drilled a small pilot hole in the top horn where you see most strap buttons placed. With the short horns and the button there now it is slightly less balanced but I quickly got accustomed to that balance and not having both the strap and button hitting my hand any time playing the higher frets has eliminated most of what I hated about the guitar. I have a modification planned for the box where neck meets body... I am going to reset just the one low neck bolt/screw after I modify just the one lower boxy corner with a slight contour somewhat rounding off that point. I'll either have to shorten the screw or maybe just a slight angle will work. I'll find out later this week as that project is on the list.
