"just play the damn thing and see how it feels"
A simple concept, but many players don't understand it.
Just play the damn thing? What do you mean? Lol. jk
Great for 60's psych/garage rock sounds.
also a ready-made blues guitar
you can actually get some really nice tones for taking Pink Floyd covers to the next level, first 6 string electric I purchased myself was a Danelectro...still miss that thing to this day.
soulagent79 and kashmir of course
this is my jangle pop guitar when i hit the blunt
soulagent79 yep
This is the best dano demo I’ve seen yet
"Who gives a flying rat's ass if it djents?" You just became one of my favorite guitar reviewers on TH-cam. :-)
Incredible review, you've really covered every possible curiosity I've had in this guitar. I suspected it was special, and you truly demonstrated that exactly in this video. I have finalized my decision after watching your video today, and have ordered this guitar. Thank you very much!
The screws on the back are for adjusting the pick-up height.
possibly why the volume was falling off a bit on the higher end.
Good tip! Thanks! I have just got a red one!
@@BrianSGuitars I got the black one and the 12 string and the bass...I am so happy, these guitars are a joy to play, sound AMAZING and I got all 3 for less than$1,200 I just play for fun but would gig with them every day of the week
This is by far the best review of any guitar I have seen. I just clicked "Buy-Now" on the DC 59 I've been watching on Ebay. Danke Shoen!
I like this man he has a good personality and vibe
it's funny cause at first i thought Henning was kind of full of himself. But the guy is genuine as fuck. He knows what he's talking about, he has his opinion and he will back it up! the guy is kinda weird and quirky but aren't we all? the dude is awesome
he did the same with my mum, 'cept he left his filled dunkie in my cornflakes box.
Fuck you
I think everyone starts off being sort of put off by him, but over time, Ive found he does some of the most honest reviews out there.
I was impatient to see this review. Love you, your channel and Danos. Keep going!
The suggestion about the specs is very good advice in my opinion. A guitar must feel and sound nice, whatever its made of doesn't matter that much. Well, it shouldn't matter that much. This blue colour probably makes you want to pick it up every time you see it. Cool review, Henning!
tolles review, vielen Dank dafür.
schon fasziniert was für tolle sounds aus so einer Gitarre rauskommen, werde ich auch mal ausprobieren müssen
Henning, can I just say I love the sound of the Torpedo so much more than your usual cab+mic setup. Keep it up!
15 minutes in and I'm sold, great review!
Best review of a Dano ever! Thank you!
finally someone who can talk
Appreciate your honesty and practical approach
You are my fave video demo guy !! Hands down!!
Good stuff! I just got a new Dano 12 !! Thanks
I saw one of these yesterday, a 59 Devine in Walnut. It looked cool, but seemed like it was made out of plastic, like the boards around hockey rinks. I picked it up and it was light as a feather, and it was so nice to play. Probably the nicest feeling guitar after my Telecaster Ultra. It was just perfect and sounded so good. I may go back and buy it tomorrow.
Can't wait to hear this!
I'm primarily an acoustic/rhythm player by choice and I'm wanting to get into more of a lead style. These Danelectros seem to be the perfect guitar for that.
Dude, I don't know how someone like Jared Dines has 600,000+ subscribers and you only have 20,000. I'm subscribed to Jared, not knocking him at all. You may do more videos than he does and have more equipment than anyone on TH-cam. You should have 600K followers by now.
+JamCave Studio Jared is great... he doesn't review stuff, does he... he does funny videos... those go viral, mine really don't.... I just provide a service... but I am happy, the channel is growing and comments like your tell me that I am on the right track... slow and steady... a channel like mine will never reach 600.000 subs... and that's fine... maybe one day Jared and I can be in front of a camera together, that would be fun !
+JamCave Studio Well, Le Henning is German and therefore the more, ähem, "serious" and "scientific" approach is what he offers. ;-)
Seriously: It's more of a deep dive, not so much easy to consume videos. You have to be really interested and ready to think about what he says. And he says a lot!
+EytschPi42 Du und Jared wäre sicherlich äußerst unterhaltsam :D ... und ja die qualität deiner arbeit ist beispiellos auf youtube. von so her hatter schon recht das du noch viel zu wenig abonennten hast. aber die zahl wächst ja fleißig ;)
+JamCave Studio I actually prefer it like this, I have never seen a dumb comment or a rude reply in any of his videos, only decent people are subbed to this channel , and they are outnumbered on the internet..
+JamCave Studio Like every YT cheat:he BUYS them!
I can't afford to cheat the system so I am stuck with less than 200 subs, and a lot of my demos have had a lot of views also!
Them's the breaks I guess.
Some cheat, some have ETHICS/MORALS!
TOUGH call!
I have 2, one from the 90s and the other from 2009 , I love these guitars these is something about them.
A good entertaining video. I still have my Danelectro amp from the 1960 s. cheers !
I have a triple-pup DanoBlaster and I love it. Very versatile!
I love the way a danelectro sounds. I've been eyeing a 59 for a while now. Might have to pull that trigger!
these guitars feels pretty darn good, had to try one out myself after this;)
Use my Danelectro 59 for RnB//Soul//Funk these guitars have a super nice clean tone!
This guitar sounds awesome. I have the 1959 danelectro 12-string reissue and it sounds just as awesome as this guitar. A must-see in play guitar just like this song I want one of these now.!!❤️😎
The Dan 12 string is a great guitar I have the Korean one it’s great sounding. Paid $375.00
Stays in tune great 👍 player!
I loved this review, thank you!!!!
I love listening to you talk 😄
The guitar absolutely has a great look. Danny Kalb from the Blues Project played one of these on early albums.
Most of them, in the USA, were sold at Sears stores, under the Silvertone brand name. Danelectro made the Sears big amp, as well (2x12s, all tube, 2 real channels).
I have a couple of the old ones glad to see you discover these as a great tool. There is a higher options. Jerry Jones makes high end Dano-ish guitars. They are VERY popular here in Nashville
I sure wouldn't mind gettin' a lefty in that color someday. It's almost the same shade of blue as my old 1976 VW superbeetle convertible, that I had for years :)
I love Danos! I've gotta get one of these!
Wicked clean tones !
Hi Henning, thanks for this neat demo. I love the looks of this Dano The pastel colour reminds me of my Sea Foam Green PRS Starla which I love and the smooth clean tones are perfect for me as that is the tone I use most with maybe some chorus or delay. But, and it is a big BUT, as I have mentioned before, I live high in the mountains of Northern Spain where the climate in the winter is very damp and my modern furniture which has Masonite backs, drawer bottoms etc warp like crazy with the humidity. I wonder if this lovely guitar would suffer from the same problem here. If I was confident that all would be well at those prices I would buy one tomorrow! Cheers, Chris.
Amazing guitar. Love how it sounds. That’s definitely my next guitar....
Did you ever end up getting one?
That Dano sounds lovely!
I dropped a hum bucker in mine in the bridge :) I truly 😊 love it.
A truly original sound comes from these guitars. Nothing and I mean nothing sounds like them. Not for everyone for sure but one of the most original sounding guitars on the planet. Worth every penny
Just bought one of these. Great guitar, BUT, recessing the bridge makes restringing near impossible without removing the bridge, and you can only do that if you unscrew the mounting posts... which means you have to set the action and (maybe) the intonation every time you restring. The recess just doesn't have enough clearance around the bridge unit.
My advice would be either shim the neck to tilt it enough to bring the bridge to a practical level, or buy the model with the metal version of the original rosewood bridge. Otherwise, it's a great instrument.
Thanks for that!! That kills it for me!
its about time you demoed that thing its not like youve been busy or anything
screws on the back adjust pickups hight
It sounds really nice for some rhythm and chords. I could see it having a place in some soul or maybe worship music. Although perhaps not its "intended" place, this thing clearly exists in its own dimension. Further, I could see this thing doing well with some surf rock. Beautiful playing, and very entertaining overview!
Not sure if you missed it or what but he explained that Zepplin used one, and not just for clean stuff- I've seen country music guys use them, I've seen jazz guys use them, I've seen folk guys use them, funk bands, pop bands, and the list goes on. And I'm not talking about some guy I knew playing one- I'm talking about famous musicians playing on hit records. The Danelectro has an established place in almost every style of music- not just worship or "soul".
My first guitar is a Danelectro DC3. Looks like this one, but has three pickups, a 5 position selector knob, and a two position switch that turns on all the pickups.
Great guitar, affordable, cool and very playable!
best review style ever!
popular skeleton, particle pressbroad, lipstick tube pickups, my 56 u2 bought mine second hand in 2000, and the control is concentric tone and volume in one
Beautiful guitar. Love the sound of those lipstick pups
Mine is Orange & yep I bought it on a whim just to have a toy that was retro like. I was blown away by how good it sounds & plays. Not Macys tho. I think it was Montgomery Ward & maybe Sears. Boats! YES!~ It really is like a old Fiberglass boat. Very thin neck. Good review. Flip it over & you have your TV Dinner tray!
+greatvanzinni Mine sure has crummy tone & vol controls. But like I say still love it.
The 4 screws in the middle of the back are for height adjustment of the pickups.
I've got a Dano Pro and absolutely love it. I have to get the 59 as well. They look and sound amazing. Try it on a Twin Reverb, it's a fantastic combination! At home I play it on my small Danelectro Dirty Thirty, which is an amazing amp as well. Even if the only guitar that sounds good on it is my Dano.:P
tried one lots of years ago kinda love/hated it but i like the looks of them
I bought my Chinese built 59 brand new for a whopping $160.00 around 17 years ago and it was the best , coolest cheap guitar ever, still in my collection and saw thousands of hours of fun.
I have seen other youtube demos for this guitar and they all say the same thing except the Andertons guys did not seem to get this guitar. I want one, and I know it serves a purpose.
I bought one just for fun after watching a review because it's so cheap. It's a great affordable guitar. The neck and frets are very nice and it sounds really good. Also, it is light as a feather. It's the first guitar I've liked playing besides my strats for many, many years which is so unexpected as I thought it would just be a novelty destined to gathering dust in a corner with my Les Paul and PRS :)
Anderton's are nerd fools.
Ps. They need to be maintained but if your looking for a certain sound you can't go wrong with this iconic guitar or bass
Nat Daniel sold them through SEARS & ROEBUCK under the Silvertone name....but sold them on his own under the Danelectro name. They are fantastic.
Enjoyed this a lot, just one thing... the guitar front/back is made from hardboard (uk term) and is not wood as such it is a composite material made from wood fibre and glue, a much finer composite than particle board which is wood chips and glue.
Now I want one...The Blue is amazing!
you're right about the strumming in an electric guitar! I don't like it either. I'm gonna have to try this! thanks :)
I really like these retro looking guitars. You should check out DiPinto Guitars. Your review has made me add this to my wish list.
I love you, Man!
Genial, compre una¡¡¡ Gracias
I like how you can play Priest on that thing!
I just got one of these as my first guitar after my 100 dollar beginner guitar. Excited to see I chose well. The only disappointment was you didn't jam some Kashmir!
Cool looking guitar
Syd Barrett, a founder of Pink Floyd, used a Danelectro on most of his recordings. Probably the most shining example is 'See Emily Play'.
I purchased a 'baby blue' color, as it reminds me of my late dad's old '56 Ford Fairlane, the first car I rode in.
Be ready to file nut slots, and replacement parts are unobtainable from provided contact.
Whole reason the first 6 string electric I ever bought was a Danelectro...still miss that guitar. I would play Astronomy and Bike for hours on that thing. They sound pretty awesome with a slide as well...and would be quite simple to put and XY pad in...and now I have my next project idea...mid tier Danni with normal humbucker on bridge lipstick at neck and swap out the bridge with the guitar Fetish humbucker lipstick, mod in an XP pad, and setup the eBow in the effects loop as well.
Apparently he played it a lot in the later days of his time with the band (mostly because his esquire got stolen) it's such a fantastic instrument for the floyd, low budget, intended for early rock/blues, but became an absolute icon by just being it's weird self.
@@patbiss7742 his esquire was never stolen. the silver wrap started to wear off because he never put a finish on it so he traded it to his friend for the black telecaster you see on some of the pictures in madcap. now it might have been stolen from his friend because nobody knows where it is. he also played it a lot in the early days.
sounds great.
Ganz toll, gut gemacht.... danke
Henn, middle pos on a Dano is SERIES wired NOT parallel!
Rewire for BOTH and you would have UBER jangle in the middle pos!
Rock on!
@ 14:27 every Danelectro I've ever played does this. I've thought of moving the pickup farther toward the high E or maybe even drilling a hole under the string.
Danelectro's were sold by Sears under the Silvertone label.
The Danelectro and Hughes & Kettner are a good match sonically, and visually.
Mac Demarco's guitarist uses one of these and it sounds great!
Peach Pit as well!
You guys know any other bands that use this?
@@MetalMadArran Mild High Club comes to mind. Also like he said earlier, Peter Sagar uses a black one. He used to play in Mac's live band. Hell even Jimmy Page from Zeppelin owned one.
Aye huge mac fan!
@@MetalMadArran Jimi Hendrix had one for a while too
I'm gonna be getting one of these because the one I have is absolute shite. I mostly got introduced to it because Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) plays it and I love the sound.
I love Danelectros. I heard they tried other materials and other woods but nothing sounded quite right. I hope this isn't an invitation to people to tell me that tone woods don't make a difference. I'm just the messenger and I don't really care much. But, I love the way they sound.
well, I may be wrong, but I think the Daelectro pickups have a fair amount of microphonics as well as electro magnetics. I had one, and they do seem to sing a bit even through the pickups, and you can almost play them as an acoustic; only slightly too quiet to pull it off. They are nearly as hollow as a Dreadnaught and they weigh about the same as a Taylor single cut. While playing with a slide, the twang does seem to resonate and sustain like an animal through one as well.
"A flying rat's ass?" Doesn't get better than that!
Mate, I would never listen to almost half an hour of a review, I usually go for a 1-5 minute video but I loved your energy. Consider me a new subscriber. From Australia 🇦🇺
Damn you have a great guitar room
Masonite is actually a pressed FIBREboard product and it's quite strong and definitely more durable than particle board chipboard.
I see a lot of these guitars in kijiji.ca and i dont know they seem cheap but omg the demo that you did is really really good! :3
fellow Canadian! indeed i see then often for under 300! the second i buy a resonator guitar and get some extra cash I definitely want to get one
Do a review of that cherry doubleneck I saw in the background of that 4 square demo
I love Danos, and I've fallen even more in love with them since I changed my set-up: a pair of Laney vc30s, slightly overdriven, with stereo FX. Thanks for this demo! Soon I hope to get an orange one of these!
i have just ordered Danelectro spxt
Hallo Henning! Could imagine that the open high e string sounds weird, because of wornout slot on the nut or bridge. That slight buzz kills vibration... just my 2 cents... Grüße, and thanks for all your funny and informative videos!
I played one at Norms in L.A. and fell in love. im searching for a used coke bottle red
The other 4 screws on the back holds the pickups, you can actually set the height of the pickups how you prefer by screwing and unscrewing those
Probably the best guitar review/demo I've watched. Thank you, sir. I'm sold.
These always remind me of "Molly (16 Candles)" by Sponge. Such a cool sound. I'd be hard pressed to pick a color.
Is there an important difference between this masonite Dan and the new spruce?
Im thinking about getting a Danelectro, so it'll be great if you help me with this.
Thanks!
Wow, I think I've just found my new main guitar.
I love these guitars! Minimalism at maximum! If you thing a minute about how they were/are built... almost cardboard! One more reason to think that the main factor in a guitar are the pick-ups... and these ones sound great..! The 12-strings one is another beauty! Thanks for these reviews. You are really the best! (your reviews ar truly honest, with both pros and cons, and also funny!)
1. Die Links verweisen mich alle auf die Thomann-Startseite. (Soll das so?)
2. Die Farbe.... Dies ist wirklich mal eine ''Geschmackssache"! :D
Dafür gefällt mir die Kopfplatte & der Klang.
I'd love to buy a Dano. This model really brings out my sound. Any tips?
Would of loved to hear some early 60's surf sounds coming from that guitar.
yeah. I'm sure with some reverb it would be great for surf tones
They carry a model called '66t that rocks the surf tones with a tremolo bar.
oh, do you find the tone/volume to be counterinuitive? seems like the volume should be the 'top' or 'inside' one.
i'd thought this thing a $200 guitar. but what might set it apart from lower-cost models are the tuners, and the pickups. after a couple of month hiatus from this one, i just pulled it out of the bag again, and the pickups struck me for their clarity and power, and the guitar was still in tune. so actually, imo this could be a $400 guitar, despite its 'lightweight' feel. ymmv
You playing very cool
It looks interesting and it's sound has its place, just not my thing. Nice review as usual.
