Has anyone ever played one of these? For £65 I'm unsure whether to be interested or not, it looks like it could be quite fun. Is it worth a go?

Shhh...don’t mention danelectro it makes people cry...

Not worth a go then?

Really nice guitars. Never mind dez, he likes to pick up dogshit and rub it into his eyes so he has something to complain about.

I'd say get it for that price, definitely.

I’ve got one (that I bought second hand before anyone starts) and it’s an excellent guitar for the price. If I were you I’d grab it before someone else does...and it’s second hand so (hopefully) no one will give you hassle for buying it

I've never actually played any Danelectro, how do they feel? Is the neck similar in any way to a Fender or are they completely different?

The neck has a narrower fret board than my Tele and a more rounded feel, but they sound terrific kind of raw. The one I have sounds different from all my other guitars, which was what I wanted when I bought it.

Thanks, I think I might give it a bash.

I've got the baritone; for that money, they're giving it away - you could flip it for double that on eBay, piece of piss. The only thing you'll find is that, because of the bridge position, it's physically quite a small guitar.

It looks very small. But it looks like it could be fun and as you said I could sell it on if I don't like it.

That particular model made the Top 10 of 'best budget guitars' in some magazine or other.
Proggy had the DC 69(?) model which i thought was okay but that U2 i had was a bit gash. Pity you cant try it first.

lipsticks are nice, ...on guitars.


i'd say for that price go for it give it a shot

Ive played the baritone version a lot, its a really solid guitar.

The '63 is quite nice - definitely one of the best reissues they've done. The neck is a bit thinner front-to-back than a Fender, and 1/16th" wider.

for £65 it's a no brainer. do it.

I second above statement. I had one and I liked it, but I should have tested it instead of buying it blind.
Lipsticks are cool.

unless it's pricey chanel lol

I've played a few of these and thought they were rubbish. That is very cheap though, so there's very little risk involved and it seems worth a go.
