Frequently Asked Questions
The guitar neck shares the characteristic twang and chime of a Lipstick pickup-equipped Danelectro, but with slightly less high-end sparkle due to the longer scale length.
The longer scale of the bass neck will require a bit of adjustment for players used to a shorter scale, but the comfortable neck profile helps, and the tone is undeniably Danelectro.
While not as robust as solid wood, the Masonite is surprisingly resilient; avoid excessive impacts, but normal playing won’t be an issue.
