DANELECTRO MOD 6 GUITAR in Southampton
I'm reluctantly thinning out my guitar collection so the next to go is my DANELECTRO MOD 6. I bought this guitar new in the U.S. in . The list price then was $599 (I paid slightly less). It is in immaculate condition with no marks, dinks or signs of wear.The MOD 6 was Brian Wilson's (Beach Boys) choice of guitar on his Good Vibrations album, as illustrated on the album cover. It's a fantastic guitar to play, very light due to its sandwich construction and a terrific range of tones as illustrated in the original official blurb below. The Mod combines the best of both worlds... The drive and power of a humbucker with the sweetness and richness of two Lipsticks. Exclusive Select-O-Matic switching plus coil tap switch provides eleven distinct tone variations. Gotoh tuners and adjustable bridge. Like owning eleven monster guitars in one! The Select-O-Matic pickup selector has six positions: 1-Neck/Bridge, 2-Neck, 3-Neck/Middle, 4-middle, 5-Middle/Bridge, 6-Bridge The Blow Switch: Bypasses the rotary switch and turns all 3 pickups on at once in series which gives the DC-3 a 7th setting above and beyond the Select-O-Matic switch for a no holds barred blast of tone! Thus, when the "Blow Switch" is clicked on, the Dano is significantly louder than with any one or two pickup combinations. This makes playing leads an easier chore as the guitar is automatically louder when the Blow Switch is engaged and automatically goes back to the settings you had previously on the guitar when you flip it back to the original position.
