Vintage guitars for sale: Danelectro

Welcome to vintage Danelectro guitars for sale. If you're looking to buy Danelectro guitars, you've come to the right place.

Danelectro produced low cost guitars, initially between 1954 and 1969. They were made to be inexpensive, but with their lightweight bodies (usually Masonite) simple build style, and improvised metallic lipstick tube pickups, they actually had quite a distinct twangy tone. Danelectro guitars are very much associated with a period in the mid to late 1960s when they were used most notably by Jimmy Page, Syd Barrett (used a shorthorn on the first two Pink Floyd albums), John Entwistle (most notably used a Longhorn bass for the solo in The Who's 'My Generation') and Jack Bruce (he used one throughout the classic Disraeli Gears). Although most famously associated with Fender Stratocasters, even Jimi Hendrix used a Danelectro Bronze Standard as one of his first guitars.
