From what I understand it's just a tele body with a Danelectro neck.

I don't think that says Danelectro on the head, looks like too many letters. Also it would would need a new bridge too.

Looks dead-on, I guess it does say Danelectro. Red, do you have any pics that show the bridge?

I haven't found one yet. The pictures are from a Jeff Beck Group concert circa 1967. Rod played the 12-string on Beck's Bolero

I didn't even know that ponce played guitar. I like Jeff Beck though. What's with the beehive hairdo?
