The direct predecessor the the sought after "Jimmy Page" variation, this earlier model differs only in having rear-mounted controls and a smaller vinyl-backed clear pickguard. With 2 of Danelectro's proprietary "lipstick tube" pickups and stacked tone and volume pots, this is the absolute classic Danno design. A great playing and sounding product of Neptune, NJ and one of the company's enduring classics.
