Danelectro Hodad Guitars

DHD6BK

Gloss Black

The new Hodads - all at £429 UKRRP - are available in Black, Blue Metallic and Red Metallic asguitars, and in Black and Blue Metallic as basses. Similar to theirpredecessors in looks and features, they all feature maple C-shapenecks with rosewood fingerboards - for that classic Dano feel -along with the unique masonite-topped body we all know and love,which produces a beautifully loud and brash tone acoustically andelectrically.

The pickups are of the classic Danelectro lipstick variety, withtwo single coils on the basses, and two pairs of lipsticks on theguitars (with a coil tap option available via a push/pull pot).These being Danelectros, the pickups are wired in series - asopposed to many other guitars, which are wired in parallel - soflick to the middle setting for a load of extra beef!

A joy to pick up and play, these new Hodads take Danelectro'sclassic looks and feel - and the vibe that has seduced superstarslike Jimmy Page, John Entwistle, MarkKnopfler and Jimi Hendrix over the years - and bringthem bounding into the present day as a uniquer proposition for21st century guitaristsand bassists. We defy you not to fall right under their spell theminute you pick them up!

Danelectro guitars, basses, amps and effects pedals aredistributed exclusively in the UK and Eire by John HornbySkewes & Co. Ltd. For more information, visit the JHSwebsite.
