i might get one so we can smash it up @ DOOGFEST III

If it was a baritone, I'd have to come so I could throw myself between it and the ground (being careful, of course, not to hurt myself).

WHAT

Are'nt they made out of paper mache?

the price Danelectro prints on the ads is usually list price. I'm guessing these will be $299 at the highest.

Hadn't seen the official ad yet, so that's pretty cool.

Aye, usually, but I believe this is a solid body.

Ply or chipboard?
The trem is kinda interesting, it looks like its been made from an old Raleigh Grifter mudguard. Kool.

Two billion year old swamp ash, aged in a golden cask. And I can say this as an ex Grifter owner.

Masonite panels glued to either a poplar or pine frame. Some sites say it's stapled, but that's total BS as you can see glue when you take them apart.

They're bloody brilliant guitars. The newer reissues felt a bit too much like a "proper" guitar in regards to the weight and build quality, but I guess that's to make them appealing to non-fans. But these new ones should be solid bodies as they're reissues of the Coral Hornet (I think, can't really remember).

But this one's got contours - I reckon it's solid.

It is.

Its easy to put contours on MDF or Ply bodies, as long as you dont go for transparent finishes your fine.
But when specifications state 'solid body' you expect alder, ash... or at the very least agathis or basswood.

I'm the opposite. The more I see them the more the control area looks a mess.
