1990s Danelectro 56-U2 in excellent condition and in perfect working order.
Cool looking Blackburst finish with stacked Volume/Tone knobs and a pair of lipstick single coil pickups. Fully hollow and weighing a mere 6lbs 6oz! This '56 reissue U2 has all the jangle, snap and twang that has made the lipstick pickups a favorite for decades. Produced in Korea (before Danelectro switched production to China), these early Dano reissues are held in higher regard than later reissues and this particular example plays exceedingly well.

The neck has a medium C profile with thick slab rosewood fretboard and stock fretwire that shows only light wear down near the nut in the "cowboy chord" area. There is virtually no fretwear up the neck, the guitar has no buzzing and the best intonation an uncompensated rosewood saddle can manage! On the headstock, the sealed tuning machines are stamped with the Dano "D" and work a treat!

Electronics work as they should, with the stacked Volume/Tone knobs coupled to a three-way pickup selector switch. The Blackburst finish is really stunning with a creme to black gradient finish on both the body and headstock. Cosmetically, the guitar is in great overall condition, with a clear pickguard that has yellowed moderately with age. A Real Stunner! Fully Set-up and ready to Twang!
