"Book 'em, Dano"

Here for sale is a cool Danelectro U-2 in the rare and desirable "Tahitian Coral" finish, one of the best looking (and no longer available) colors offered on these original reissues. When we got it, the original switch was broken, but it has been replaced with a super heavy duty modern switch.

Made in the late 90's in Korea. It's a sought after reissue due to its' genuine "Lipstick" single coil pickups with original formula 50’s style Alnico magnets, dual concentric (stacked) tone and volume controls, Dano "coke bottle" headstock, "dolphin" shaped pickguard, and large hollow inner cavity for the cool open, ringy tones. Other features include the original style chrome bridge with Rosewood saddle, hard Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard, chrome sealed "D" logo tuners, and 25” scale.

This one is in pretty great shape. It plays and sounds better than the originals. No notes, no damage. As always, I cleaned it up, polished the finish, oiled the board, flushed the electronics, changed the strings and set the action as low as I could.  This guitar comes with no case or gig bag, but I pack my guitars up tight!

Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
