I don´t have a Danelectro yet.

Do you think starting with a doubleneck would be a bit too much?

Double the pain / pleasure ratio..

You've got to ask yourself one question really, Do I feel lucky.. ?

Failed attempt at a bit of sm@rt@rse humour kk

Was attempting (poorly) to make the point that Danelectros in general are outliers on the guitar spectrum - bit of an oddity, not everybody's cup of tea. I've played a couple, and within the last week  took the plunge and bought one off another fret boarder. I like them. In total contrast, however, I have a friend who has - broadly - similar tastes to my own in guitars, but absolutely hates them, in terms of look, feel, and sound .. and even the weight annoys him

If you've tried them, then obviously you know what to expect; but if you're starting from a point of not having tried one (of either single or double neck persuasion) then they might well fall somewhere cn the 'a bit extreme' part of the spectrum.

I'm secretly GASing for a 12 string.

I love British humor but, I´m German so I sometimes mistake it for something serious.

That's because you have no word for fluffy...

I have to say the aqua 12 string looks so cool.  Like the guitar equivalent of sunshine.

It was probably harder to follow than that even - I'm Irish, plus the original quote was from the lead character in Dirty Harry..

No-one's perfect.

I had a few Danos. Necks were very very comfortable but the rest of them felt like toys. Very light. I’d consider one again. The 59 in the middle position sounded great.

I picked  up a DC59 via Facebook for £60.  The guy selling was trying to change the strings for the first time and got in a serious muddle.  It's cheap and cheerful but nowhere near the build quality of a Vintage or a Squier imho.  I stick it in the wardrobe when we take our caravan away and the hollow body gives enough volume for an evening jam.
