Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Dan O. Cool pairs Danelectro’s bright, quick Lipstick-pickup response with higher-output 1950s-spec pickups: 20% hotter at the neck and 30% hotter at the bridge than traditional Danelectro designs. That added push is aimed at pedal-heavy signal chains, including fuzz, overdrive, compression and modulation. Hardboard top and back panels surround a solid spruce frame, while the bolt-on hard maple C neck, 14-inch rosewood board and 25-inch scale provide a direct, familiar playing platform.
