i got the dano 63 aqua for xmas and it rocks for such a cheap masonite body... it's the killer lipstick pickups on the middle setting... the guitar looks like it came from a barbie and ken rave... a cult clasic for any collector of geek-nerd-weird guitars... and this sea-foam, winto-green mint colour with the plastic adhesive masking tape binding the edges is a treat... mine came with tape sections lifting and that's how they'll stay for posterity, press them down... Love my Dano 63 Aqua!!!

@NathanStang75 I asked my luthier and his answer was "no,not really".
That's because a Dano is basically a pine frame and masonite top and back. There's nothing much inside the body so there's nothing much for the tremolo, springs, etc, to screw onto. I suppose you could open the guit, fortify the insides and then go for it (possibly with a Bigsby type setup), it's a question of whether it's worth it.

@TheChknptpie Well, just to put things into perspective -- one of Jimmy Page's main guitars is a Danelectro and he uses .08's.

@matheesha123 The bridge p/up for the most part, both toward the end.

@lobotreas No it does'nt have a tremelo. I'm sure one could be fitted though.

what gauge strings do you use!
I have been using .09's on mine and when they get old (i play a lot so this happens quick) its just loses the tuning and the tone real fast!
should i switch to .10's? any suggestions nebody?

@TheChknptpie I personally use 10's but it all depends on your style and what music you play. You should really change the strings more frequently if you play a lot.

@ivncdo0809 No the Jimmy Page version has a different bridge, BadAss i think, and is more representative of the original guitar, with concentric volume and tone knobs etc.
