Danelectro Guitars - For The Player Who’s Got Everything Else! - Andertons Music Co. 

saaaaame

Yes, the guitars make more sense than the mouths here.

Fuckin exACTLY! 😳😳

fossilmatic Genius comment; thank you.

Yep, and then the Captain realises ... oh wait, I,m supposed to be selling these.

Could in its own way, be the best endorsement they could have gotten?

Well said

I have had a danelectro, but I never liked it. The idea of having a different type of material guitar is cool and gives a unique tone. However the hardware is awful. It easily falls out of tune. It's not a guitar for everyone. I am sure for the same price you can find something better. Not only Gib or Fender. But other brands. Maybe even local ones.

I have three Danos and none were over $200. Not a lot of name brand Fenders or Gibsons in that price range.

Too right. My Danos sound cool.

"Everyone?" *Mosrite fan sits in the car outside the guitar store.*

Jack Beale Go on.. say it : Nerd Nonsense. :-)

It’s actually a little like watching Star Wars fans review Star Wars, too 😜😂

In not a fan of either and I know Star Trek is actually well written. Star Wars is for kids

A Channel you are old and no one cares

Yeah. Or vice versa. It’s not doing the product justice. Heck it’s probably also like Kirk fans reviewing Picard era Star Trek as well as prequel loyalists vs original trilogy loyalists.

Danelectro is also made in korea: better quality than any chinese squier or epiphone

Will Fudge I got a Squier tele Classic vibe made in china, great quality some people even compared them with some fender MIM 🤔

And the danelectro plays so much better

Also Epiphone is its own company

Excellent comment!!!

Exactly!

The limitations of this channel to this day.

Right ....

i love it, so unique yet diverse

I just got one today and it sounds great it has that unique sounds i can't get enough of I got the black 12 string

@@toonieluvgaming8939 I just got one of those in black, also. What a cool little guitar. It isn't very luxurious, but it is fun to play.

@@Kdschaak yeah it just got a sounds that I can vibe with and create some interesting riffs

When you've had Fender, Gibson, and PRS models for years and that's all you've heard, I suppose it's easy enough to get bored. Like eating nothing but Oatmeal with either Maple Syrup or Bacon for 40 weeks, you're _probably_ going to get bored of it, no matter how good it was to start with. Even me playing my 1966 Kay, its tone (both for what it is, and also what it isn't) helped me gain some appreciation for Strats. I'm one of those guys who likes Mosrite models (another company who can have an impressive and interesting tone in the right setup,) and I often enough have found Stratocasters boring, like if I play one, I'm gonna fall asleep while "driving." They're the poster child of a model (next to the Les Paul) that everyone and their great grandma knows. As such, they've gone through a lot of music, and how they're played often seems highly predictable, instead of being spontaneous. Admittedly, I suppose part of that's a lack of my own talent in Stratocaster Land. Either that, or it's a deep-seated belief that the model's just not for me in most situations. But I also think it's because the model had _so_ many people play it, that I don't feel like I'm going to be adding much (if anything) to music by playing precisely what many other people are. It just doesn't seem unique enough, nor does it seem to be my thing (usually.) Then again, what am I even doing musically, except nothing but bedroom playing, with rare exceptions of uploading a badly recorded video? I'm probably one of very few outspoken people who thinks of Strats like this. I have _some_ level of appreciation for them, but that's after having compared them to both my 1966 Mosrite, and 1966 Kay. Both models sounds "dry" by comparison. The Mosrite's still more clean than Gibson's P90 pickups. (Mosrites never used P90s, they just look like they do.) The Kay sounds a bit like a discounted Fender, but with AWG 43 Wire and metal casing for their "Pancake" bobbin pickups. I don't know what magnets they used for their pups, but I suspect they might have been Ceramics. That's just speculation, though. Having heard the Mosrite and Kay, I've realized that Fenders have a bit of a "wet" sound to them, even if it's a Stratocaster and not a Jaguar. That might not make sense tonally at first, because no one I've heard of seems to be using that term. But the tone of my Kay _sometimes_ leaves me feeling like "Agh, I wish I could drink in (listen to) the tone of a Fender right about now." I don't feel that way with the Mosrite, because the pickups are far more punchy and ready to overdrive an amp; it's a different kind of "dry tone," the type that doesn't leave me wanting a Fender in its place. I only bought the Mid 1966 Kay because I like how it looks aesthetically, and I like trying out less often played instruments. The Kay is an Old Kraftsman (Spiegel Catalog, first showed up for sale in the 1966 Fall - Winter Catalog) version of the Kay K-300 (not the 1962 - 1966 version with "Speed Bump" pickups that look like Gibson P13s, but the later type of the K-300 with pickups called "Cake Pan," "Pancake," and "Zippo" pickups) and this guitar has a surprisingly ornate pickguard. It's also often mistaken for a Vanguard model, but no sales catalogs indicate that. The Kay does have a pretty thick (that is, depth - not width) V profile neck, which helped me realize that not all thick necks are bad, and they can actually be comfortable for me. I've never played a thicker neck - it's about 0.970" inches thick from back to front around the 1st fret. The V profile moves my hand into a nice spot.

This. This was probably the best jam they had in like 2 years

Own the tone my g

Ed Is Sick one of my favourites is the opening jam from their Marshall Astoria video

Yeah and guess what it has nothing to do with these shitty overpriced guitars

Actually, it has everything to do with those guitars. The sound you hear when you are just noodling on a guitar is almost completely responsible for anything new coming out of your playing. There is something to be said about when you pick up a guitar that doesn't have a genre association mired I your head, it will open up your thought process beyond what you would normally play as well. I certainly don't play the same licks on a Taylor Acoustic as I start to thumb out on say a Dusenberg Semi-hollow, and I don't play nearly the same music on a g-bender Tele as I do a normal tele....when you play a guitar totally foreign to your norm, you inevitably go further out of your normal realm.

I agree, the whole part where they jam with the baritone and the 12-string sounds absolutely great. So mellow and hazy...

Same😂

I agree

I thought the same thing man, very cool vibe especially with the bari on rhy n 12 on lead

Very dirty, nasty, awesome sound

Yeah. Those are 2 I have. They are both great. I really fell in love with the 12 string right away.

I have One of the 2010-ish era Baritones from them, and It's been noted as "One of the best clean tones I've ever heard" by three separate guitarists (One of which is a sound technician.) Good enough To the point I've been offered money for it. Not sure I'm sold on their normal guitars, though.

Dude all of them sound good

Yeah and they produce Chapman Guitars, which are the very definition of boring and generic. Hypocrites. I wouldn’t go near a Chapman. Does the world really need another Tele knockoff?

Jason Allen well you know, if it’s not a shredder guitar with humbuckers, Rob thumbs his nose at it.

This is 10/15 minutes of snootiness, does the Captain also drive a big, black, beemer 4x4? I didn't think he was one of those types....

I have one and for clean tones, you want a Danelectro

💯

Christian Lamm lmfao. Sorry kinda late😂

How about a 12 String Baritone

May God have mercy on my soul, I had a Lancia Delta in the early 80s. You could actually hear it rusting away.

Ha! If I had to describe a car that I NEVER thought Lancia would make, it would be this one!

good lord, lancias in 80s and early nineties just rusted since the moment you drove them away from the car dealership. they were extremely well equipped cars but the poor quality of the metal killed the brand. Gotta thank fiat for that

@@takemebacktothen Must have been the acid rain in Britain - or just the old hearsay. My old man had a couple of Themas and a Kappa back in the day. Zero rust. A squeaky seat rail, a power window dropping out... things like that. But no rust and better equipped and performing than anything you'd get from other European manufacturers for that price... ... which brings me back to Danelectro and the part where the analogy fails: Danelectros are too expensive for what they are. For 200 EUR, I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but they're more like 500+.

The Stratos! Beautiful beyond belief!

jamie c - or jangle jangle indie rock, or surf rock...

They should've had Pete and Bea play them.

What Jamie said. Great for dream pop type stuff.

That said, the opening jam sounded pretty lovely.

The baritone jam was nice, too.

lol

Patrick M I’m thinking about getting a 67’- I’m definitely going after a dirty blues type vibe- is it for me?

Same here, thinking it's my next purchase.

@@meatrocket1 if u still haven't bought that 12 string yet musicians friend has them on sale for $299. $100 off!

See "End of the Line" vid; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UMVjToYOjbM.html . Jeff gives a lesson on how to strum that 12 string Dano and Tom Petty rocks the Longhorn bass! Not quite the S#!*t they are made out to be here.

fine wine? danelectro is like boones farm lol

my own baritone give me chills when i play it, there’s something about that low end that strikes through your bones.

Yep. Same era that Danish Pete's U2 came from. I have that and a tele - the Tele's in Keef tuning after I broke my high E (which opened up my playing), and the U2 has some D'Addario Chrome 12s on it, in standard, for some fun.

i have a 99 or 2000 fifty six u2 , intonation is great , pickups are great

The '56 U2 reissue is my ultimate go to guitar. Whenever I pick it up I am instantly inspired to create something new & unique. There is a certain beauty to the tone that is like none other!

I would love to own one

Piper at the Gates of Dawn That cat’s something I can’t explain.

Ice cream scuse me

i seen ya looking good the other evening

Always sitting by your side, always by your side

Piper at the Gates of Dawn I want to tell you a story about a little man, if I can

YES!

Kashmir?

Vincent Prakash yes indeed

Yeah my DC is a designated DADGAD machine

why, you play just one song?

SkyDog59 Derek Trucks could make a shoe string sound incredible.

Danos are AMAZING for slide. Buddy of mine uses a U2 as a dedicated slide guitar, it's great.

Love you Lee you remind me of monty python's humour it is the best English humour ever we in the states could only copy you even in music our ears suck

Sounds like two coconuts being banged together

Are you saying coconuts are migratory

I just want to sing

Harleys do suck i rode triumphs since i was 18 here in the US its hard to be passionate about anything that moves your soul but it is what always made me happy

Agreed! I re-watched that section a couple of times.

He said he would never do lead on a 12, and my response was "why the hell not, that sounded awesome!"

John McLaughlin has been doing it for years, and he can make it absolutely rip...Chappers, the Gauntlet has been dropped, now get in the kitchen and make me an ML-12 or Dozen Ghosts

'John McLaughlin has been doing it for years' Erm... Roger McGuinn...

tim groves Good call.. Nice to read something by someone who obviously knows what they're talking about.

Leo Cookman every guitarist here: "man Captain just doesn't get it man it's all about the feel man it makes you PLAY differently man just listen to one of their generic solos man I'd choose one these babies any day over a 10 000$ custom shop prs man...... Also playing slowly is a million times more difficult than playing fast man"

I actually would choose a Danelectro over a $10,000 PRS. I mean obviously I’d take the PRS but then I’d sell it and buy real guitars with the $10,000. PRS are fugly, especially the high end ones. I love the way Danelectros look and looks are important. Look at what Jack White has accomplished with “junk” guitars. What’s more is there’s something to be said for being different. Look at Chapman guitars, they’re as generic as generic gets. I’d take a DE over anything Chapman produces.

Jason Allen prs guitars are objectively not fugly. If you think they are ugly I’d hate to see what the inside of your house looks like

Not just on that baritone!! :-)

rcoveyduc - innovative for a department store brand, though. First electric 12 string, invented the baritone, first electric sitar, basically made the guitar amplifier a thing... not bad for a company that built guitars out of surplus scrap and counter tops.

For sure. I meant to say that I felt this is where Lee was going with his commentary. They were meant to be cheap compared to Fender and Gibson.

That doesn't people can't make great music on them.

Of course they can. Page used one throughout the 70s. It was what he used for Kashmir when in concert.
