Jcyphe hates Fenders but loves Plywood Danelectros. They might aswell be cardboard cutouts.
Fender guitars are fucking boring to tears.
Danelectros are the coolest single coil sound, besides the Gibson p-90.
An electric guitar can be made out of anything, seriously. Nat Daniels was a smart man to figure that out ages ago, and time has proven him correct over and over.
Nathan Daniels was so smart that's why Leo Fender ripped off so many of his ideas.

one ive noticed is on my 1457, there is a micro tilt style adjustment, exactly like the one fender copied like 10 years later.
i agree with j on everything except fenders being boring.
guitars dont bore people, people bore people.
i'll post a demo sometime, fran.
there are plenty of danos out there that have been played to shit, and still play and sound great. and dano basses sound incredible. and like somebody said, the middle position is ridiculous. why doesnt every middle position sound like that?
no truss rod adjustment, and the neck is still dead straight. the nut width is perfect, and the rosewood chip for a bridge intonates alot better than youd think.
go see grizzly bear live. that guy will change your mind about danelectros.

I had an old silvertone stratotone that had no truss rod adjustment on either end.

On the reissues, yes. Originals don't need no stinkin' "adjustments".

The O.G's had a metal re-inforced neck. No truss rod adjustment. But most of them still have held up 50 years later, and also the way Daniels built them, the ones that aren't can be steamed straight as an arrow. I know a guy in Jersey that does it.
What's more amazing is that he used poplar necks on most of them, which by today's "standard" most luthiers would consider it totally unsuitable as a neck wood. Buit I read Nat Daniels had developed a drying process for all his wood, that was exact. He really was a manufacturing Genius. That's why I hate when people just say they were dodgy guitars made of cardboard. They were not at all. They were innovative, all the way. They got 100,000's of people into music, and were so unique that even when some of the lucky ones made something with their Music and could afford anything, some still went back to the Danos for inspiration.

Maybe try in the middle, prise up the dotmarker on the seventh fret, it'll be under there.

they fucked it up!
why does it have the dano "skrote" bottom but the coral pickguard/construction?!
WTF.
i just noticed this.
goddamnit, why? why cant they just copy something right? they never get it 100% right.
This was my exact reaction. If not for that, I would buy the baritone in a second. Then there would be three Williams on the board with dano's.

Some people on eBay are already taking pre-orders which is crazy cause the re-issues last year didn't come for almost half a year after the NAMM show.
There are more colors, a boring red, some ugly green color, a fiesta/orange looking thing. To be honest I'm not impressed with the other colors, unless they're just bad photoshops. Which looks totally possible.

I'm pretty sure those are just photoshops. If you look closely, the trem arms and tuning keys are in the exact same place on some of them. It looks like they took two pictures and played around with them.
Not even MF pictures are that similar between each other.
Oh well, the original two colors (yellow and blue) look good enough for me.
