The classic Danelectro-made Silvertone 1960's guitar, original equipment for thousands af teen combos in the 1960's. Double cutaway asymmetrical body with sharp curling "horns", "paddle" headstock with skate key-style tuners. Two great-sounding Dan-O lipstick pickups with concentric control pots, traditional chrome plate bridge with rosewood saddle. The pots on this one date to late 1965...we like to think someone got this under the Christmas tree that year!. These are wonderful sounding and playing little guitars, one of the great vintage bargains still going.
