Description

Here is a piece of history and an incredible insight into Danelectro's design process. This prototype guitar has a piece of aluminum running from the neck to the bridge in an attempt to transfer resonance and keep the neck straight. It worked well in both regards. The guitar has a beautiful resonance from the combined aluminum block and masonite body that creates a reverberant effect. The wear on the guitar is minimal considering its age. There is a bit of wear to the basketweave on the guitar and some notes of wear. Taking age into consideration, the guitar looks, plays and sound phenomenal.

Comes with the original hard case which is in fair condition but still functional.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
