Danelectro Pro Dano Reissue Guitar in Jade

The Pro Dano is a classic by Danelectro. Originally designed and manufactured from 1963 to 1964, the popularity and quirkiness of the Pro Dano required a reissue in 2007, and then again in 2012. Music Planet have an exclusive line of 2024 Pro Dano Reissues, not available anywhere else!

Features of the Pro Dano

The Pro Dano reissues come with dual lipstick pickups, wired in series rather than in parallel as is common with most electric guitars. Because of this, the guitar is louder when the toggle is set to both the neck and bridge pickups rather than when only one pickup is selected. The guitar body is hollow, made of masonite and plywood with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The body's vaguely trapezoidal shape has led to it being described as a bowtie or Flintstone guitar.

The original Pro Dano had a short scale neck with a non-adjustable bridge, wheres the reissue has a fully adjustable bridge and a full scale neck of 19 frets with the neck connecting to the body at the 14th fret. Its light tone and slight twang makes it very suitable for playing jangle pop, surf, country and blues, among other genres.

Guitarist Magazine said of the 2007 reissue "if it's Jack White or Jon Spencer dirty fuzzbox blues you are after, it's here in spades, alongside with Beatles-in-Hamburg rock 'n' raunch, garage punk venom and 1980s indie jangle.
