***Jimmy Page: The Anthology: amzn.to/3daeSce
Here is my short history of Danelectro. I've focused on the two biggest models, the short horn and the sitar, but there were so many, it was a tough call to make decide. I went with what is best known and has influenced my listening the most over the years.

For a guy who is all about owning the least amount of gear, you sure can make me want to buy more guitars...
The Dano is one of the cheapest and most satisfying addictions you can have (if you stick with the modern repros rather than the vintage, of course). Still the most bang for the buck of any guitar ever made in my opinion. And their 12 strings are wonderful.
@@WillyPDX94 what do you think about originals vs reissues?
@@thebellbrothers3279 The new Dano's sound and play very well. If you're into the history and feel of an old guitar, you can buy a vintage Dano, but you're going to pay a lot of money for that privilege.
This made me crack up. So true 😂
IKR. I bought a 59 NOS+ after watching this video (it’s guitar number 4)… I don’t regret it one bit 👍!
You did miss my favorite Danelectro story. John Entwistle is purported to have played a Longhorn bass on My Generation and started to break strings. Not being able to get replacement strings, he went back and bought a second Longhorn bass, broke strings on that one, and then went on to buy a third before getting the track down.
He spoke about it in a recent video
I think I told that story on last week's live stream and just wrote it out for the guy above as well. Yeah, that's a great story.
@@fivewattworld That’s what I get for missing the livestream. I should have known that you wouldn’t have missed an anecdote like that.
This is why I say the Danelectro Longhorn bass may just be deserving of its own history video
That's how I "fix" my guitars. I buy a new one and eventually get around to fixing the older one.
Great video as always RJ Rocks!!
So glad to see an episode about Danelectros! Awesome quality video Keith!
Five Watt always helps us understand pickups more. First, the Firebird, which is NOT the mini-humbucker, and now, the lipstick, which is NOT a Tele neck pickup.
I have a DC 3 with the Selecto matic switch
from the 90"s ..sounds incredible,
wicked jazz tones with an AC 30
Teenager here, I only really know of the dano shorthorn because of Syd Barrett, and didn’t even realise that Jimmy page played one
Keith, just wanted to let you know I love your vids--and I'm not even a guitar player! This drummer and lover of history just digs what you're doing. And to do my bit to help, I just bought a t-shirt for a buddy and a sticker for my trap case.
Thanks for the support Billy!
My favourite part of the Danelectro story is the footage of Syd Barrett playing his double cut away in the studio on the track "Interstellar Overdrive" from the film "Tonight Let's All Make Love In London" '66-67. Thanks.
You forgot their late 90's amps they made. They are killer. The Danelectro Honeytone Ht50 is a killer sounding amp that is solid state but sounds like a tube amp. I prefer it over a few of my tube amps honestly.
I have a 1998 aqua 56U2 that I use for surf rock. It's like my Tele...I don't have many uses for it, but hot DAMN does it fill its niche perfectly!
Good video, and I know the focus was Danos but I was kinda hoping you were going to get into the Silvertones a little. My best friend when I was a kid had one of their amp in case guitars.
RJ is such a killer player
Keith!👍❤👍❤👍! I would have liked to have seen a bit more about the Silvertone line, especially the "Amp In Case" guitar, the model that was eventually reissued as "The '63".
Are you familiar with Dave Tronzo?
I don't know Dave Tronzo. I think the old amp in the case gets a lot of play so I didn't try to squeeze it in here.
the «guitarlin» was introduced in 1958, eight years before Daniel and Vinnie Bell started work on the «electric sitar»
They met at the NAMM show in '58. I may have the instrument order wrong on that score.
@@fivewattworld there was a so called Coral «Long Horn» guitar at the very end of danelectro, maybe in 68. But it had a regular 21 or 22 fret neck, trapeze tailpiece, a wooden jazz-type bridge, binding and f-holes. Maybe a curved top. It looks like a traditional pressed plywood construction, probably whitout center block. The «Guitarlin» was in the catalogue from 58-69, but it seems, due to its radical design, less than 1000 were produced. The only more or less well known player I know, was Link Wray who used one from 59 to 63...
Great video Hypes! RJ sounds killer and I love the blue sparkle Dano!
Thanks Hypes. I thought you'd like your "cameo". :)
Rick I wish he would have played it through an old amp and without all the compression. Not to mention the bridge. How much Dano is left in that sound? Maybe you can pick it up from here and look at how we use The 59 and get tones??
Thanks to both of you for always putting out quality "Content". I always look forward to new vids from both of you!
The Triple Crown in one comment section. Rick Beato, Robert Baker & Hypes of course. Keep em' comin Steve.
That is an absolutely beautiful guitar, played extremely well of course.
Epic video Keith! Thank you for letting me a part of it!
Awww, I had wanted to send it over to you. You made (!) it!
Always enjoy R.J.’s guitar videos.
What an extra treat getting some RJ riffs!!
Thank you RJ for playing! Love to listen to you and I follow your channel!
RJ rules
This Sunday just got wayyyy better. What a great video Keith. I love Danos.
Thanks Robert!
I will own one soon!
Danos for the Win!
Me too my buddy who I am great friends with Rob (I call him Rob as a nickname because we are close)
sliced bread is overrated... Kieth!
Here's a piece of Danelectro history you missed. In 1970 the factory was reopened by a guy from Texas and they began to manufacture the 6 strings again under the Danelectro name . There was a contract to make guitars for the military PXs. They were also working on an epoxy enclosed hum-bucker. I worked there that summer along with David Sancious and Gary Tallent of the original E-Street band. The plant was closed because the owner was not paying his employees and someone reported him (me) to NJ Wage & Hour. I know we finished some guitars before the close but don't know were they went.
The guy that played the Coral sitar on “ Hooked on a Feelin’” AND “ Cry Like a Baby” by The Box Tops was the legendary studio player, Reggie Young. I’m the guitar player for The Box Tops. Jerry Wexler had sent a sitar to American Studios and “ Cry like a Baby” was the first thing he played it on. To play the song on tour, I had to buy my own sitar, of course, and I bought 3 of them at $150 apiece. This was before flight cases were invented, and the worst thing about the sitars was that their cases were so flimsy. Eastern Airlines broke all 3 of them, so I had to buy another one. Sold it in ‘73 for $200 . When the band regrouped in ‘97, I bought a Jerry Jones sitar from Jerry. Reggie bought one, too.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Gary, wondering if you ever met Vinnie Bell? Two years ago I went to his estate sale and got some of his 8mm films, destined for trash.
These included some films of Paul Anka european tour Vinnie was part of.
Some of these are already on my channel, and I've been trying to identify the musicians in the films.
I would be really grateful if you can take a look at these and see if you might know someone. Thank you!
Great info, Gary! The 1960s wouldn't have been the same without The Box Tops. And you've busy in the decades since!
@@opeter thank you so much for preserving that footage!
@@versnellingspookie I wish I could ID some of the people in the footage! Since I got the scanner, I've been randomly buying 8mm reels on flea markers and yard sales, but I am yet to reunite the footage with the family members...
The thing that defined Nathan Daniel's economic style of building for me, was that the "sparkle" finishes was created by shaking the aluminum shavings from the nuts and bridges onto the clear coat and then adding more layers over them. That's why on true vintage sparkle finishes, the finish has shrunk and the sparkles are very bumpy. Mr. Daniel never let anything go to waste.
5 watt life! Content creators like this have completely replaced television in any way that counts. Here’s to you man. Thanks for the information and entertainment Keith.
This shit blows history channel away by 100X these days. Combines my fav 2 subjects, music and history into 1. I am so addicted!
What is “television”?
Danelectro is often overlooked in its role in rock - thank you for making this video!!! Fantastic content as always.
Danelectro and R. J. Ronquillo is a perfect duo.
YUSSSSSSS
This channel is about appreciating the gear you have but every time he makes a video about a piece of gear I am so facisnated by the story I have to have one! This is the most expensive youtube channel in history
😂G.A.S🤪
How ironic!
🤔🤔🤔...yeah
...It's complicated🤯😏😁
Instead of what is that piece of gear that you've been gassing for lately, what's the piece of gear that you already own that you recently found new appreciation for?
@@petelamontmusic I found out my extra guitars can be used as hat racks!
Heads-up: Jimmy Page followed Syd Barrett's lead and purchased his own Danelectro 3021 after seeing Syd play his in early Pink Floyd gigs. Jimmy similarly made his own Syd-inspired mirror disc Telecaster, based on Syd's mirror-disc Esquire. Later on, Jimmy painted the famous dragon on that legendary guitar.
Just wanting to give some more depth to the history, and kudos to Syd.
Kudos to Syd indeed. He is often overlooked, but he played a Dano in the early Floyd days along with Teles and Esquires.
Danelectro is one of those brands me and my friends have looked at and just been in awe of because of how quirky they were. We’ve known basically nothing and now we have the absolute genius and smooth calming voice of Keith to teach us everything we ever could want to know.
Thank you so much!
You skipped over my favorite part of the Danelectro story - the invention of what's become known as a "Bass VI". Danelectro was the first to make one. Also I think the Longhorn Bass deserved much more mention considering all the greats that have used one.
Keith, this was so fun to watch... FYI, you are featured in my next video.....
RJ is so criminally underrated. Loved his Guild demos.
I love seeing him play Dearmond/Guild Dynasonics! I love to see and wish more players would sport these odd ball Danelectro, Teisco, Harmony, Silvertone, Kay style guitars! Also could you do a Teisco video next?! I live their 60’s era dearmond equipped pawn shop gems!!
Yup. i love his demo of the guild x175
In 1964 we bought a Silvertone that had a built in amplifier in the case. The price was $75 NEW from Sears on Fordham Rd in the Bronx. You took the guitar out of the case, stood the case up and you were ready to go. The amp also came with a then highly regarded Jensen speaker. Not bad for $75. It actually sounded better than my friends Gretsch which was $300 but not better than another friends Fender Jaguar. That Jaguar was a fantastic guitar.
Yes my dad had a silver tone just like that. Double cutaway sunburst and it had a rectangle case with an amp built in. They are worth about $750-$1200 online!
cjc3307 : I had the black one with the single pick up.
My first electric guitar.
@@mrmusic248 same , did it have the case with the speaker built in?
Used to sell that Silvertone. Wasn't very popular though.
At the time of my viewing of this: Who are the 8 weird-o's who had the gaul to give this a thumbs down? This is some of the best content on RUclips.
I believe Danelectros were also the first large-production guitars to use an in-between 25" scale (vs. Fender/Gibson) plus a flatter (14") fretboard radius. The original frets were also pretty beefy by 50's/60's standards. They play surprisingly well even after all these years, and sound great, too! (:
Currently looking at buying a Danelectro. It’s almost like this is a sign 🤔
My man.. 🤔
The first three words of that second sentence are not necessary.
..just saying. 😁😏😎👍
.
If you can find the DC semi hollow 6 string I can highly recommend that guitar !
It's made out of spruce instead of Masonite so it's actually really nice !
I've only seen one, the one I had a regretfully sold to this day.
I recommend trying some old ones.
Me2 lol
Me too. Looking for a lefty 12 strings!
Joe Walsh said in an interview that his first guitar was a Silvertone acoustic he bought from a Sears catalog in high school. He said that he played clarinet and oboe in band, but didn’t get any ladies until he picked up that Silvertone!
Is any Short History comment section complete without a Joe Walsh story? No. It's not.
SINCE THE EARLY 1960s I'VE ALWAYS DUG SILVERTONE, AIRLINE, KAY AND OTHER INEXPENSIVE INSTRUMENTS
LIKE THE DANELECTROS
I STILL HAVE LOTS OF THEM
THE AMPS ARE COOL TOO
THANKS FOR THIS POST

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND
GuitarlosCarlos - In the 60's you could get a whole bunch of these great guitars for the price of one Gibson or a Fender.
Roger Ty
WELL, IN THE 60s I HAD A LOT OF GUITARS, BASSES AND AMPS LIKE THIS MANG

Danelectro is one of my favorite guitar brands of all time. They’re so unique and people like Vinnie Bell, Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Syd Barrett, Jimmy Page, and even Steve Howe played them and made them just as iconic as the Fenders and Gibsons from the 50’s and 60’s.
Another mention for a notable Coral Sitar track: "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" By Genesis, featuring the Coral Sitar played by Steve Hackett. Interestingly, Hackett's own Coral Sitar was loaned to the Genesis tribute band The Musical Box for their re-staging of the Selling England by the Pound concerts. Talk about authenticity ;)
I'm absolutely happy with my DC59 bought in 2017.I've had a Tele,a Les Paul junior, a Dot and nothing gets closer to a Dano
Damn, Ronquillo is a monster player. Not a big Dano fan but he makes it sound incredible.
Rick Miller of Southern Culture On The Skids has a well loved Danelectro. I can't picture him playing anything else and it is a key part of the SCOTS sound.
*gets a five watt notification* *takes break at work asap to get the good good info*
Jimi Hendrix's played a Danelectro shorthorn that he bought with the help of his father after his Supro was stolen.
Rory Gallagher’s ‘Philby’, another nice Coral Sitar appearance.
I have the '59XT and frankly love it. Unique tones and really stable Wilkinson trem. People seem to love the quirky looks of this guitar so it's a keeper. They've carved out a unique space in the guitar world...
The Dano has a unique sound reminds me of the jangly 60s garage band rock from high school. Geez most of those guys were playing Silvertones and Airlines. Great video. Thanks Keith.
I LOVE Danelectro. They're so funky and quirky and nothing else sounds like them.
Thanks for the very cool history lesson. I'm afraid I have a boring old DC59 reissue which I love.
In the mid 80’s somebody tried to sell me a 60’s danelectro with the Masonite body for $50 bucks. I just laughed at him, who the hell wants one of those?
Loved seeing JJ Cale with his Convertible for a second there
I'm very glad that you saw that. I always think of JJ when I think of the Convertible.
Of course, that was JJ Cale.
Saw JJ 3 times in 2004. I now own 3 convertibles. Love them.
For
God's sake, this is an American icon. Can we not keep it made in America?
Danelctro guitars are unique in appearance and sound. I have a blue sparkle 1994 Hodad w/ Dano branded Bigsby trem. The tone pots are push pull. One splits the pickups and the other one puts the neck and bridge pickups out of phase. So many different tonal possibilities!
In the documentary on the Wrecking Crew bassist Carol Kaye tells that during the recording of Witchita Lineman, Glen Campbell played the iconic solo on a Danelectro bass she had brought to the session.
Out of all my guitars, the only one that was stolen was my Danelectro Hodad!
👍😎❤🖖
Love brother
Cool guitars, but they are over priced to what they are
RJ Ronquillo makes all these guitars sound fabulous - love his playing!
Great stuff Five Watt and some awesome playing R.J! Cheers!!
The amplifier shown at 2:26 appears to be a Valco-built unit. (Note: Danelectro-built amps usually had an aluminum chassis, Valco amps usually had a painted or plated steel chassis).
Awesome video. I better appreciate why some love these very cool guitars.
Also the demos from R. J. add a lot!
That was great. Love my 3 Silvertones. No mention of the 5 watt amp in case units. Cheers
Anybody else immediately check the prices of the baritones on ebay?! Cool video, Keith. Nice to see RJ, pop up on your channel too.
Thanks Ben!
Once again brilliant stuff! As Chaucer would say “well donne auld sonne!”
I grew up with Jerry Jones in Jackson Mississippi and he was my first guitar technician I ever knew that knew what the hell was going on. I am fortunate enough to have five of his guitars and two of them are Dano replicants for lack of a better word. And Jerry would never tell you this but he is a great pedal steel player!
I have the third of his six string Longhorn baritones/basses from the 90’s. Same body with two different necks. And I believe I have the first of his 12 strings that I consider to be the best 12 string electric guitar that’s ever been made. I honestly cannot remember the last time I had to tune it up. The tool and dye on the bridge is absolutely amazing! You can do a major 69 chord on the 14th fret and it’s fine!
And he does have some great stories about Dan!
The most important thing I have to say about Dan electro’s is that once you start playing them in a track you can’t stop. The sound just defines everything that will follow and it is a wonderful thing!
It’s like the guitar is telling you as a listener, “ don’t give up on me now girl!”
And once again nice work! When all of this pandemic is over you need to head down to Nashville and give us a call! We’re waiting for you!
Cheers!
Great stuff, thanks Fred
@@fivewattworld And without belaboring the Mississippi connection, Masonite was actually invented in Laurel Mississippi. I had the pleasure of going to the factory and watching how it was made… It’s a little bit like congressional law making.…and sausage!
Keith gots the Best Informatics about Guitars on the Y-Ts. Wish he would do a informative based on Tony Bacon Interviews Former Gibson Chief Ted McCarty on Tonewoods and the Problems of 'Top-Heavy' Management | Bacon's Archive
Published Mar 15, 2018 by Tony Bacon Interviews Gear History
We made a guitar out of solid rock maple. Wasn’t good. Too shrill, too much sustain. And we made one out of mahogany. Too soft. Didn’t quite have that thing. So we finally came up with a maple top and a mahogany back, made a sandwich out of it, glued ‘em together. Then we decided, now what about the shape? We wanted something that wouldn’t be too heavy. The Fender was a much larger guitar, heavier. So we made ours a little smaller bodied, in a traditional shape.
At first, what did you call the guitar that became the Les Paul Model?
It was just a solidbody guitar that we were building, it was... a project. We had always carved the tops of our fine guitars, and we had real fine carving machines. Leo Fender didn’t have any carving machines. They joined their neck with a plate in the back of the guitar. We always glued our neck in, made it an integral part. So I said, OK, let’s carve the top of this thing. So we did, we carved the maple top, like we’d do on an L-5 and an L-7.
Whose idea was it to do that?
I was working with the rest of the engineers, and we would sit down, like in a think tank, and we would talk about this guitar: Let’s do this, let’s try that.
How many of you?
Maybe there were four of us. Mr. Huis, one of the fellows in charge of the wood department [probably Larry Allers], and one of the guitar players in final assembly [probably Rem Wall]. Of course, Julius Bellson [assistant treasurer and personnel manager] and Wilbur Marker [service and custom-instruments manager], people who worked for me-they were in on this thing. And we finally came up with a guitar that was attractive. And as far as we were concerned it had the tone, it had the resonance, and it also had the sustain, but not too much.
How long did it take to get to that point?
About a year. Tony Mottola was probably the number one guitarist in New York City at the time. I sent one to Tony for his opinion. He was strictly an acoustic man-he didn’t think too much of any electric guitar. It was attractive.
So why choose him to send it to?
Because I knew him very well. He was a fine musician, one of the best in this country. So I got an opinion from him and from several other people.
What did he say about the guitar?
Well he didn’t particularly care for it. It was a solidbody and he was a hollowbody man. But he did say that it was an attractive guitar and it played well, and that was an end of it. Wasn’t a bombshell by any means. So we thought we had the guitar, and now we needed an excuse to make it. None of the other major guitar companies had anything to do with a solidbody. Their attitude was forget it, because anyone with a bandsaw can make a solidbody guitar. Bandsaw and a router, that’s all you needed.
Was the guitar you had at that stage exactly as it turned out in production?
You’re talking about the Les Paul? Oh, absolutely. So I got to thinking, you know, at that time Les Paul and Mary Ford were riding very high. They were probably the number one vocal team in the United States. They were earning a million dollars a year. And knowing Les and Mary, I decided maybe I ought to show this guitar to them.
They were at a hunting lodge, borrowed from a friend of theirs, in Delaware Water Gap, which is up in the mountains in Pennsylvania. Carol, who was Mary’s sister, had an almost identical voice. They could sing a duet, with one of them off-stage-they did this frequently-and it sounded like Mary was singing a duet with herself. Their bass player was Wally Kamin, and Wally was Carol’s husband-so the four of them were a group. They were all together in this lodge up in the mountains.
Im surprised you did not mention the Sears Silvertone with the amp in case model...never knew it was a Danelectro in disguise. Thanks Mr Williams....learned a lot today and I love origins.
Larry, yes, that was indeed a major omission on Keith's part! The two pickup version with the better, more powerful, Champ like amplifier was the one to have. The single pickup version had a flea powered "AC/DC" transformerless amplifier that only put out about one Watt and constituted an electrical danger if you touched anything grounded or stood on a concrete slab floor while you were touching the guitar strings..
I’ve had my 59 dano reissue for about 14 years-ish. Great machine! Always stays in tune and plays easy! Several of my friends have bought Dano’s after playing mine. Thank you Keith great episode!!!
seriously all these intro tracks need to be complied into a playlist.
Love ❤️ wot you do so interesting learning so much; many thanks 😊 from Australia 🇦🇺 cheers 🍻 👏 😊
RJ is the man! Tupac to Thompson Square! He literally can do it all. Lol live his channel. Great video Keith!
Always Great. Love the Dano Blue Sparkle. I always like RJ! Great player
The Silvertone brand has also been revived.
Jimmy Page playing the Danelectro playing In my Time of Dying is outrageous
Nice work as usual. I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't spend more time on the Silvertones, especially the 1448 that so many of us of a certain age lusted for in our youth. I had a guy bring one in to have the amp recapped, and when he returned, I said, "Take my money!". Mine now, and I'm loving it.
I'd have to say that the first recording featuring the the electric sitar that caught my ear was "The Games People Play" by Joe South.
Was waiting on the Hendrix images when he was in the Army playing one.
I absolutely love my new five watt world hoodie. Great choice in supplier.
Another great track that uses the coral sitar ist Stephen Still "Cherokee" from his first solo album. Great video!
If I remember correctly, the solo in Van Halen's "Aint Talkin' Bout Love" was doubled with the Danelectro citar!
Most underrated guitar used by Page: The Fender Strat used on "in the Evening".
Okay....
Thanks for the history lesson. So much I didn't know as a youth. I have to slow the playback speed to .75 because you talk really fast.
Green Day used silvertone amplifiers on their Uno Dos Tre trilogy of albums
We don't talk about those albums, okay?
Some years ago I saw Kings Of Leon on TV playing at a large festival and they were using Silvertone amplifiers of Danelectro origin.
Great info, but you didn't mention the amp in case models. Maybe you could do an episode on these treasures? Love your work, thank you!!!!
Please do one with Rickenbacker! These videos are great, I've watched them all. It was nice to be able to hear how they sound by RJ playing.
Wonderful video Keith! Really enjoyed this episode. Hats off to R.J. Ronquillo. Great playing (as always). He is such an interesting player. I feel like I should know the song he was playing at the 10:30 mark but for the life of me, I just can't place it. Hope you and RJ can do more videos together in the future!
Great playing by RJ. Makes me want to buy a Danelectro!
I would have liked to have seen the 1448 amp in case model mentioned, other than that I really enjoyed this video!
RJ on an episode about Danelectro?!? Heavenly
Dano and Rickenbacker are both really interesting to me because of how they do everything just a little different from Fender and Gibson. Variety is the spice of life and I just think it's neat to have guitars of different materials, construction techniques, and mechanisms.
Amazing stuff!! Thanks for the upload!
Wasn't Link Wray's "Rumble" recorded on a longhorn?
As always Keith - you set the bar for content creators with your subjects, research, delivery and quality of your productions. I was hoping the Danelectro would be made and you didn't disappoint! Thanks as always!
If it was then it explains why it doesn't quite sound right when I play Rumble on any of my guitars.
Rumble was not a dano == LP and a premier amp
@@BenPrevo I've heard either a Les Paul w/P90s, a Supro, or a Longhorn Danno, from different sources. The amp was always said to be a premier, but the guitar always seems to be different in the story. I'm no expert either way.
I love that you showed Fat Mike from NOFX right after Phoebe Bridgers
8:15 glad you put NoFX's singer/bass player in the spotlight as well. He remains one of the more prominent DC-bass players.
Great video! I learned a lot, but you never mentioned the Sears guitar case/amp combo Silvertone.
Great video, looking forward to the next
Most excellent as usual Keith and R.J. !
Thanks Jeff!
Extra trivia. Randy Rhoads polka dot V was fitted with an old danelectro neck
Link Wray used a Danelectro Longhorn. He used it when playing Rawhide on American Bandstand in 1959.
Another legendary new jersey brand. Great video!
5 Watt World = a lot of Fun, but RJ Rules RUclips
I'm kinda surprised you mentioned the "note smear", since the ability to play complex yet clear chords is one of my favorite things about both my Danelectros.
