Danelectro 56 U2, made in Korea late 90s, surf green burst. This is awesome! Dan fans tend to be big fans; once you pop it's hard to stop. The combo of a masonite body and lipstick pickups makes for a unique and super punchy tone; it's got a lot of tonal mojo. The neck is comfy, moderate in profile and perfectly straight, plus the super light body rings enthusiastically in the hands... it feels great. You can still get this model in black, but the surf green to creamy yellow fade is a limited time finish that popped up briefly in the late 90s. This one had a few stickers on arrival, so it's got a few fade marks around the body to add some charm where they've been removed. It took ages to get them off; you're welcome. This will look great on your wall or on stage... it's surely a delicious little smashed avo.
