Great video! I love this particular model, and actually had one until my house was burgled and it was stolen, along with my bass guitar. I hope to get another one day.
Sounds cool. I'm interested in getting a 2nd guitar for slide, how does it sound with a slide? How is it set up? Is the action high enough for a fairly thick slide?

@jjguijarroiii I rarely use this for slide. I have a 63 Dano Reissue I was for that. I keep the action pretty high and as it so happens, the nut is a little high on it as well. Works great for slide.
I suggest trying the 59 DC for slide. Sounds more open, vibrant, round, warm and organic--optimum characteristics for me. The U2 seems more Tele-like, which is great if that's one's style.
Karl Sandoval, to the best of my knowledge, used to buy these exact guitars, take off the necks and make his famous Polka Dot Flying V guitars with them. This was back before he made the entire guitar from scratch, he liked the way the DanElectro necks felt.
now should i get one of these or an epiphone les paul? the epiphone is only $20 more, and i just cant decide! theyre both definately two pretty fucking sweet guitars.
@StonedPro These are very different guitars from one another. I'm not a big Les Paul fan; I have one, but I rarely play it. I play this one all the time.
@StonedPro Yeah, I agree. They are both different guitars. I have had many Gibson's and Fender's and the Dano is amazing! I would go for the Dano, the Epiphone is nothing special, although I agree it is more versatile.
@himynameischr1s - They aren't making this particular model right now - check eBay and you may find some used '56 reissues. They are making the '59 reissue.
ive got same guitar ,same colour, had it for about 10 years, I think i paid around £100 for it brand new
agree with everyone else, for the money its a great guitar.
easy to play, never goes out of tune,
(probably not for guitar snobs that have £3k les pauls and can't play smoke on the water on one string ) for ease of playing ,looks,sound etc its really good
I'm so glad i have one...for me it's one of the absolutely best guitars comparing to the price...and the waight...man.. i think i can still play on this when i'm hundred years old
I think the Vibro or Super Champ are great deals for the money. I got mine on sale a year and a half ago. Some tube purists scoff but I really like it. Very versatile.
that bridge pickup sure fattens up with the overdrive. sounds sweet!

@ruyZitho It's a little fatter than my American Telecaster and narrower than my SG. It feels just right to me.

@Yourmomathon I have since sold the Epiphone. It was okay, but not great. Always sounded kind of muffled to me.

V nice tone and style - been thinking about a Vibro or Super Champ for blues/jazzy playing.
Not tried one and seen a few web-deals - are they good for the money and any downsides in your opinion?
