I don't know how to feel about this.

Ah, yes. This isn't quite the point at which they went out of business last time, but it's not far off.

Personally, I sort of like them. A bit daft, but still based on an old design (allegedly?). Then again, I liked the dying days of the last batch of Dano reissues like the Mod 6 & 7 for example.

Srsly though, their current business model of just releasing a few models every few months for limited runs must be paying off in spades for them to be taking risks like this.

Also: a return to the wooden-saddled bridge? Interesting. Squier must have ordered a huge amount of the properly intonatable bridges for their Jaguar and Jazzmaster models

They look like a drunk girl. I say that because I seem to remember a picture of my ex girlfriend being drunk and waving her arms in a manner like the horns on that guitar are shaped for some reason.

DO NOT WANT

I've been noticing that as well. I prefer it - it's getting back to the Dano sound. The metal bridges made them sound too strat-like.

So Danelectro(in Neptune) actually made at least one "Ellipsis"?

that baritone could be fun. I like the shapes alot. Any ideas what the bodies are made from? Are they similar to some of their recent releases?

... aaaaaand relax - another Dano reissue I won't feel grumpy about not buying. Reminds me of the ugly ALbert Lee sig. Uggo.

/o/ Everybody put ur hands up and wave 'em like ya dun care \o\

I looks like someone tried to copy the Amp-in-case model while using LSD

This made me lol irl.

Wow, a Dano I actually like ! All swirly and shit....

I think I like it. Dunno if I prefer it over the 59s or 63s though.

I like the bass, looks kinda nice.

Flowing nice curves..

To me it looks more they wanted to do something new and took an existing conservative shape and added wacky horns. Whether that happened in the 60s or last month doesn't really matter. It still looks rubbish.

I agree.

Looks crap.

Reminds me of...



... a little.

Does anyone here have a copy of "Guitars From Neptune" or "Neptune Bound" ? I was just wondering if there
was a photo of the original "Ellipsis" in either of those books?

Oohh,dig that "throbbing vibrato"...man that's crazy!

This does nothing for me I'm afraid.
