any reason you use/like/prefer the danelectro?
I think that my brother may have been there. I’ll have to ask him.
the danelectro has a nice thin punch. before that my main guitar was a ‘62 gibson les paul jr. (student guitar). lately i’ve been playing a late ’60s tysco. the guitar i used on 1950 & 1951 was a $10 no-name guitar (might have been a tysco) a friend left at my house - i love the contrast of all the octaves and fifths with no real guts to it. i play a les paul too when i need a more fullbodied sound. the 1952 & 1953 records i did with a les paul copy - after that i wanted to open the mix a bit, & that’s when i started playing the old student gibson & the danelectro.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen someone play a guitar as high up as that…
it’s a good look
totally awesome! i love the fact that you use copies! keep on rockin it budget style! who needs a $2000 and up instrument when you can get one just like it for $200 at pawn city! my favorite(and first) guitar is a univox (70’s japanese made) semi hollow body gibson copy i bought off my younger brother’s friend for $20 10 years ago and i just got it set up again and is playing like butter!
