      When you've had Fender, Gibson, and PRS models for years and that's all you've heard, I suppose it's easy enough to get bored. Like eating nothing but Oatmeal with either Maple Syrup or Bacon for 40 weeks, you're _probably_ going to get bored of it, no matter how good it was to start with. Even me playing my 1966 Kay, its tone (both for what it is, and also what it isn't) helped me gain some appreciation for Strats.
      I'm one of those guys who likes Mosrite models (another company who can have an impressive and interesting tone in the right setup,) and I often enough have found Stratocasters boring, like if I play one, I'm gonna fall asleep while "driving." They're the poster child of a model (next to the Les Paul) that everyone and their great grandma knows. As such, they've gone through a lot of music, and how they're played often seems highly predictable, instead of being spontaneous.
      Admittedly, I suppose part of that's a lack of my own talent in Stratocaster Land. Either that, or it's a deep-seated belief that the model's just not for me in most situations. But I also think it's because the model had _so_ many people play it, that I don't feel like I'm going to be adding much (if anything) to music by playing precisely what many other people are. It just doesn't seem unique enough, nor does it seem to be my thing (usually.) Then again, what am I even doing musically, except nothing but bedroom playing, with rare exceptions of uploading a badly recorded video?
      I'm probably one of very few outspoken people who thinks of Strats like this. I have _some_ level of appreciation for them, but that's after having compared them to both my 1966 Mosrite, and 1966 Kay. Both models sounds "dry" by comparison. The Mosrite's still more clean than Gibson's P90 pickups. (Mosrites never used P90s, they just look like they do.) The Kay sounds a bit like a discounted Fender, but with AWG 43 Wire and metal casing for their "Pancake" bobbin pickups. I don't know what magnets they used for their pups, but I suspect they might have been Ceramics. That's just speculation, though.
      Having heard the Mosrite and Kay, I've realized that Fenders have a bit of a "wet" sound to them, even if it's a Stratocaster and not a Jaguar. That might not make sense tonally at first, because no one I've heard of seems to be using that term. But the tone of my Kay _sometimes_ leaves me feeling like "Agh, I wish I could drink in (listen to) the tone of a Fender right about now." I don't feel that way with the Mosrite, because the pickups are far more punchy and ready to overdrive an amp; it's a different kind of "dry tone," the type that doesn't leave me wanting a Fender in its place.
      I only bought the Mid 1966 Kay because I like how it looks aesthetically, and I like trying out less often played instruments. The Kay is an Old Kraftsman (Spiegel Catalog, first showed up for sale in the 1966 Fall - Winter Catalog) version of the Kay K-300 (not the 1962 - 1966 version with "Speed Bump" pickups that look like Gibson P13s, but the later type of the K-300 with pickups called "Cake Pan," "Pancake," and "Zippo" pickups) and this guitar has a surprisingly ornate pickguard. It's also often mistaken for a Vanguard model, but no sales catalogs indicate that.
      The Kay does have a pretty thick (that is, depth - not width) V profile neck, which helped me realize that not all thick necks are bad, and they can actually be comfortable for me. I've never played a thicker neck - it's about 0.970" inches thick from back to front around the 1st fret. The V profile moves my hand into a nice spot.

    "Why not just get an Epiphone or Squier?"
    There's a difference between a Danelectro and a Squier/Epiphone: Danelectro's have originality. Sometimes, I just don't want a cheaper version of a Fender or Gibson. I want something that's cheap and yet ORIGINAL.
    Think of Epiphone and Squier like McDonald's and Burger King. Sure they're cheap and affordable and everybody eats there. Can I eat somewhere else that isn't a sandwich? Like pizza? Or Chinese food? A DIFFERENT FLAVOR.

      I have had a danelectro, but I never liked it. The idea of having a different type of material guitar is cool and gives a unique tone. However the hardware is awful. It easily falls out of tune. It's not a guitar for everyone. I am sure for the same price you can find something better. Not only Gib or Fender. But other brands. Maybe even local ones.

      @verigone2677 Pƙed 6 lety +13

      Actually, it has everything to do with those guitars. The sound you hear when you are just noodling on a guitar is almost completely responsible for anything new coming out of your playing. There is something to be said about when you pick up a guitar that doesn't have a genre association mired I your head, it will open up your thought process beyond what you would normally play as well. I certainly don't play the same licks on a Taylor Acoustic as I start to thumb out on say a Dusenberg Semi-hollow, and I don't play nearly the same music on a g-bender Tele as I do a normal tele....when you play a guitar totally foreign to your norm, you inevitably go further out of your normal realm.

    They were the budget guitars during the huge guitar rush following the Beatles. After the Beatles, every kid wanted a guitar for Christmas and many of those kids turned out to be famous. So I see what Captain is saying but I wouldn't put it like that. I'm a huge fan of Danelectro. There's just something about them. And they're a great first guitar. They can do light and single coily but they take overdrive very well also and can sound quite ballsy. They're super fun to play.

      I actually would choose a Danelectro over a $10,000 PRS. I mean obviously I’d take the PRS but then I’d sell it and buy real guitars with the $10,000. PRS are fugly, especially the high end ones. I love the way Danelectros look and looks are important. Look at what Jack White has accomplished with “junk” guitars. What’s more is there’s something to be said for being different. Look at Chapman guitars, they’re as generic as generic gets. I’d take a DE over anything Chapman produces.

  • @dennymcfastlane8530
    @dennymcfastlane8530 Pƙed 6 lety +4

    The inception of the Danelectro concept, was to provide inexpensive guitars to anyone that might have, or have not, an inclination to even attempt playing a musical instrument. This is why they were sold near Sporting Goods or Appliance in Sears & Roebuck & Montgomery Wards. Even if You personally didn't like the Guitar line, You have to give their marketing ploy an A+ & a 1/2 for the genius behind selling guitars in a department store, plus a mail-order, as opposed to even attempting to draw your parents into a music shop!!! As far as the Dano's are concerned, they always had an unique sound, due to their construction, which by the way, was another hit out of the ballpark. Say what You will, the works Barrett, Page & White accomplished on these Dano's, is enough alone to buy one!!! **P.s. By the way, i still have my first rig my parents bought from Sears & Roebuck. A Silvertone 1449 amp in case model from 1963. I still play it, and it works flawlessly!!!

    And remember that the bass solo from My Generation was Entwhistle playing a Danelectro Long Horn bass! If anyone's played a more memorable bass solo that changed the way people thought about what a bass could do in R&R, I must've missed it!
