I had wanted a baritone and specifically a Danelectro for a while. This guitar is great and find myself reaching for it more and more often over my regular guitars, or when I'm using my looper I will use it as a bass or the lead instrument. Tremolo and fuzz sound amazing. I also play with some guys where we mostly play bluegrass, old country and gospel and I exclusively take this because it fills in the bass parts but I'm also able to play guitar parts. The shape is unique but it's not uncomfortable, it hangs well on a strap and is easy to use sitting down. The longer scale makes bridge muting a little bit of a stretch but it's just different until you get used to it. One review I read online one review that felt the pickups were too hot, I disagree, if anything they could be a little hotter, so maybe a new set of lipsticks are in the future. I would certainly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a baritone at a decent price.

It plays super good but the guitar has an odd body but if you are into that style this is the perfect guitar for you it plays awesome definitely better than a squire

I moved from bass to guitar awhile ago, and baritone 5 years ago. My first of 7 baris was the black U56, and I finally felt at home with an instrument.

The vibe of this guitar is so unique. It plays like a dream, with a great neck and top fret access. It's extremely well built, which is the Dano standard. I was worried about the lack of a pickup switch, but the separate tone/volume knobs inspired me beyond what I woulda done with a switch. I woulda ended up doing a volume toggle, instead of dialing in both at once. Also, the Evets Danelectro reissues' bridge is possibly the most reliable and intonation-friendly bridge I've ever played. Like a tune-o-matic with the solidity of a Tele.

Excellent guitar all around, with consistent quality and inspiration by the oodles.
