Danelectro Dead On 67

Guitar shape comparable to Fender Jazzmaster and Jaguar, it is American design but made in China.
Generally the violin is pretty simple but good quality.
The body is solid basswood, which is an achievement because the models DC 59, 56 pro, dano pro are composite called masonite.
The body is really very thin which makes the guitar very light.
The C handle fairly thick and wide has a rosewood fingerboard with frets more than adequate. It is adjustable by a double trussrod.
The lifts are also satisfactory.
A pickguard and polished aluminum plate gives a very beautiful visually, it can not be said of the tone volume buttons that are pretty cheap. The tremolo is pretty aluminum aesthetic. It is attached to two screws on either side of the tailpiece and plated with a spring that runs through the body. This design is interesting for me because I hate Pink Floyd, or even those stratocaster type. This tremolo is pretty hard and can play + / - 1 / 2 ton. Cons by no system of adjustable bridges but just a wooden saddle, that fact may be vintage, but still I wonder about the propriety of the guitar to drink a few years ...
Electronic side, two famous single-coil pickups lipsticks, two volume, two tone a switch 3 positions, with the plant that takes two pickups in series. To complete the look, the guitar hook from the front is really a detail that I like.
I put a 7 given that this is still a guitar small bills (less than 300euros) and simple design

UTILIZATION

In terms of ergonomics nothing wrong, the guitar may be less well balanced (playing enough or standing) or a lespaul strato, but we made it very quickly. Its lightness is really a great asset to play standing.
The neck is very pleasant for me who loves pretty thick neck. Its access to the tweeter is really good.
Small downside is the switch under the baton of the tremolo and the knobs a bit too far for my taste for those who play a lot with them.
And this detail can become annoying, because this type of guitar is the kind of guitar where you play a lot on the volume to change from a clear to slight crunch or distortion. But hey we do not spend all her time to adjust this either ...
The tremolo is when its a bit hard but its advantage is that it is not sensitive to violent attacks pick.


SOUNDS

Sounds, here we are. Because if you buy a Danelectro in my opinion it is not for its build quality and ergonomics. But rather for its looks and especially the sound of these guitars quite effective.
I play a bit of everything, which means nothing! Say I am a school rather rock, I love the old rock direction alcohol and tobacco cold. And I also go into recess sometimes blues, jazz, funk and reggae.
The first observation is that it&#39;s clicking sound whatever the configuration (and yet I had a strato team texas special telecaster and american standard). I play on a peavey amp transistor, SansAmp GT2 preamp and then through a TonePort computer music.
Is approached his fender but it&#39;s pretty slamming his clear and precise in the quasi-crystalline. The neck pickup is really very well defined and clear sound crunch but want badly distorted, the bridge pickup is very sharp and well suited to the heavier sounds. The intermediate position is adjustable, and is a real treat. Some are comparing this to a humbucker, but I would say yes, so far as this part was always snapping a ruler to cut down well below the two tones.
Also does not specify that hardrockers metalheads do not hang on this guitar. I also think that a jazzman in love with a well round will not appreciate the acute nature of the guitar itself, lowering his tone completely. But by placing the two microphones set can come close.
Even if the versatility is not his strong overall sound was quite vintage touches us to the heart is clear.

To talk settings, I play a clean sound that just crunch when you attack, add a spring reverb there is exactly what I like.


OVERALL OPINION

I wanted to write a review on this guitar because there was AuCu and god knows qu&#39;audiofanzine is a prestigious help us poor provinces, so this site is complete.
I&#39;ve had three days and I am fully satisfied. I would do some point in time when I have had enough experience.
And after passing through a peavey classic30 example ...
I own a Gretsch Electromatic Jet club &#39;tuning&#39; type les paul and I wanted a guitar complementary.
I owned a lonestar stratocaster and a telecaster american standard, and I wanted a single coil sound but my sound so that even if fender is great, not remarkable for its originality. And the originality is not ultimately not to ruin!
This sound is tempered by a very good guitar "toy" that makes you want to let go until it feels like sometimes on the road to memphis wanting a cadillac, cheuveux wind or in a dark garage for a good dose of surfing -Rockn &#39;roll wild!
And it is this quality of the instrument, a singular heat gives me a special relationship with the instrument, while the guitars classical architecture (mean strato-tele-lespaul-sg) I always put the names of artists on their sounds.
I would do this choice without hesitation.
