{"product_id":"danelectro-convertible-acoustic-electric-guitar-1960-5780","title":"Danelectro Convertible Acoustic-Electric Guitar (1960)","description":"Danelectro Convertible Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar (1960), made in Neptune, NJ, formica with vinyl siding finish, masonite and pine body, poplar neck with rosewood fingerboard, original black alligator chipboard case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA nice example of the classic 1960's roundhole hollowbody Danelectro with a fully hollow body, single lipstick tube pickup in a round soundhole, formica top and back finish and vinyl siding. The neck is the standard Danelectro style with a vertical logo and openback Waverly strip tuners. Intended to be used with or without a pickup (hence the name) the Convertible guitars have more body response than any other Nathan Daniel design, and actually are a fairly functional acoustic guitar. These were the most basic Danelectro guitar offered (original list price with the pickup was $65.00) but have proved enduringly popular with a unique tone all their own, both plugged and unplugged. A few years back renowned singer\/songwriter J.J. Cale was been seen using a Convertible extensively, inspiring new interest in this unusual Danelectro creation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 1\/2 in. (97.8 cm.), 13 1\/16 in. (33.2 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1\/8 in. (5.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). All original, only minor wear, some dirt on the vinyl sidine but overall a clean example. A little typical sink to the top under the bridge (practically inevitable on this model) but better than many, this remains a very good player and a super example of an early Convertible, complete with the original black SSC. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Danelectro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852972576908,"sku":"5780","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_06fd5e19-7ba4-40ed-b29c-fe54776ed8ec.jpg?v=1774329128","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/danelectro-convertible-acoustic-electric-guitar-1960-5780","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
