The neck is the standard Danelectro style with a vertical logo and the company's patented \"Skate Key\" enclosed strip tuners. This model was offered for sale both with or without a pickup (hence the name) and the electronics package was actually available as a separate kit. The Convertible guitars do not have a solid center block like the Danelectro standard models and thus 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\/4 in. (33.7 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). Very clean all original condition with only some light wear marks, mostly a few scrapes under the bridge where the feet moved around over time. No alterations, repairs etc�just original New Jersey goodness! This guitar has a surprizing acoustic sound, really much more than it technically ought to! Includes the original cool if faorly flimsy canvas and vinyl gig bag, a very good playing and sounding example-nicest of these we have had in a while! Excellent Condition.","brand":"Danelectro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853010882700,"sku":"6834","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_97914cbd-2096-42ae-8105-e4be431c207f.jpg?v=1774330537","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/danelectro-convertible-thinline-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1966-6834","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
