Danelectro Convertible Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar (1966), made in Neptune, NJ, formica finish, masonite and pine body, rosewood fingerboard.
The classic mid-60's roundhole hollow body Danelectro with single lipstick tube pickup, formica top and back finish, and pebble grained vinyl siding. Intended to be used with or without a pickup (hence the name), the Convertible guitars have more acoustic response than any other of Nathan Daniel's designs. These were the most basic Danelectro offered, but have proved enduringly popular with a unique tone all their own. Currently the renowned singer/songwriter J.J. Cale has been seen using a Convertible extensively, creating new interest in this unusual Danelectro creation.
Overall length is 38 3/8 in. (97.5 cm.), 13 1/8 in. (33.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) deep. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.).
All original except the knobs, which are period Teisco/Kent fittings. Some minor wear overall, most noticeably a spot of bucklewear to the back. A good playing and sounding old Danno. Excellent Condition.
