SOLD 2 YEARS AGO: aged Copper DC59(still available) and harley benton baritone(sold)

WezV

Having a little clearout and getting rid of a couple of cheapies.   both have been modded and used

Danelectro DC59 - this is one of the more recent reissues which came in satin black finish with satin chrome hardware.   I got it from MR a few years ago and converted it to a sitar. Then last year I put it back to a guitar and finished it in copper paint with a bit of green verdigris.  the plate was butchered as part of the sitar conversion so this one is an replacement, and has an extra hole which isn't currently used.  lets call it a tone hole

The copper paint is the stuff jooky was using, its had a few light coats of acrylic lacquer but will continue to wear and age - its not a hard wearing finish

£125 collected from Burton On Trent or £145 posted in the UK

Also there is my Harlye Benton Mosrite style Baritone.

These were offered by thomann for decoration only so it has a D stamped by the heel.   First I got it playable, and I am happy to report it plays pretty well.  its had a few upgrades, but also has picked up a bit of damage and the original tuners died a few weeks back so I chucked on a set I had here

Mods:

Bridge screws shortened to stop them fouling strings

Bridge Pickup changed to a PRS SE p-90 with brass baseplate

Neck Pickup changed to a Kent Armstrong Sky P-90 with nickel silver baseplate

Tuners changed to Black wilkinsons

General set-up and new D'addario strings

Neck finish satinised

Issues:

Using pickups from different manufacturers means the middle setting is currently out of phase

The tuners were not a match, so a few extra holes on the back, and obviously they are not gold

The neck pickup route was very tight, some finish chipped out when changing it 

There is a small chip on the back of the neck

really should have taken the plastic of these by now

Lets say £75 collected or £95 posted..... a hell of a lot of guitar for the money!!

Absolute steals the pair of them! Very tempted by the danno I have to say... (I have absolutely no need for it but it sure is puurrdy)

Ill take the Harley Benton if it's available? Happy to collect.

WezV

yours then @harryseven

Bump for the Dano

WezV

Baritone is now gone, Dano is still available

WezV

I will offer the Dano for £125 posted - £105 collected.  If you don't like the copper then the paint could be stripped quite easily as its not the most hardwearing anyway,  and its the original black underneath

I adopted this beast (sans vibrato arm) from @HarrySeven earlier this year. 

My mods:

• Gold Jin-Ho locking machineheads. (Horridly cheap but, at least, they are the right colour.)
• Bridge pickup changed to a Kent Armstrong Hot P90 with a two-conductor + shield output cable fitted by me. (Goodbye phase reversal issues.) Through overdriven valve amplification, the instrument now growls.

If you wanted horribly cheap tuners the right colour I could have sent you the originals

It's mine - I bought it as a stop gap whilst another was being built.  It could be for sale.....

Seriously.  This stuff sold 2 years ago.  It was bumped by a current owner.  It had successfully dropped down to where it should be

At risk of pushing @wezv over the edge, did I hear the copper one might be available again
