OMG! acoustic tone is beautiful!!!!

Ahh, thanks much. That's definitely where I've heard it, but I have heard similar things to it too. Specifically an acoustic guitar piece from the soundtrack of the television series Arrested Development (granted this was obviously many, many years after SMB2).
My theory is that it may draw heavily from some gypsy jazz standard, but who knows.
Thanks again!

Cool. I got the original in 1967 for $27. It was my first guitar. I still have it! I still play it!!!!!

Hey there, cool demonstration! I was wondering where you got this guitar, since I've been looking at getting one too but I can't find it anywhere. Did you get it online, or at some local store?
Thanks in advance!

I found this one for $270 used at Parkway Music in clifton park NY. They don't make them anymore unfortunately so you'll just have to check ebay/craigslist/local shops often. While I wouldn't recommend paying more than $350 for any non vintage danelectro, I will say that it's one of the guitars that I would not sell, as it is so small (for an acoustic), easy to play, and the sound is good and just loud enough to keep up with full acoustic instruments if you play it hard enough.

Hey, can some one tell me what the finger picked song is that starts at 3:04? It's so familiar...

It's the first level music from Super Mario Bros 2. I've been told it sounds like other songs though so maybe Nintendo took it from somewhere else

not gonna be able to demo it plugged in?!
dude, get your amp retubed and then demo it. what's the point if you can't demo and dano plugged in?

Amp is retubed and fixed, however the guitar actually belongs to my girlfriend who lives out of state (the video was made a few days before I gave it to her), so making another demo right now would be impossible. When she (and the dano) moves back in I'll get one up. However this is a danelectro's acoustic guitar after all and there are plenty of other videos of what it sounds like plugged in, so I figured this video might be helpful to those wondering its capabilities as an acoustic guitar.
