I agree, as I was one of them. Loved how they looked, but I think the reissue stuff all plays pretty horribly.

i like danelectros, but they're getting overpriced.

i kind of agree with isaac here. . . the debate is well old and really doesn't belong in the info forums anywhere near as often as it comes up. it's almost to the point where i want to post a sticky to that effect. wanna yack about it? the pub is just a click or two away.

as to this guitar, i think it's just meh looking, but i've always been more into dano effects than their guitars anyway.

Nah disagreed. Every time a discussion of new Danelectro product comes up, people should be reminded why it's wrong to buy it.

I don't know if we should have the full on debate because it is so tedious but maybe some of us who just can't stomach these products anymore can ignore any thread with Dano stuff.

People love to talk about their gear as much as they play it

. If people keep making Dano threads and get the cold shoulder they'll get the message. They'll have to be "in the closet" about their Dano stuff!

i do it all the time. if something looks like a child's drawing of a guitar, why would i care what it sounds like? it could be the best playing/sounding guitar on earth, i still wouldn't buy one.

News just in from Ed Roman, this is in fact the best playing and sounding guitar in the world:

Lol!

I like them too, in concept...the 90's reissues (I own a DC-12, my girlfriend owns a Dano Convertible, and I used to have a baritone U2) were great guitars for the money, and just in general even.

Their brushed metal parts, fake aged paintjobs and pickguards, and model reissue inaccuracies put me off them. Also they hate the gays

that's what i'm talking about: the tedium of it. everybody's entitled to their opinions about anything, but having gay marriage constantly come up in a guitar info section just gets old. hopefully that d-bag sells the company soon, so we can just get back to admiring the cool things dano does with its gear.
