An over the shoulder Danelectro Pro style build.
Build over the year on/off with pandemic waves.
Necks: Pacific Teak, natural finish
Fretboard: Merbau
Body: Hardboard and Pine (like the original release Pro) finished in colour and low sheen clear.
Lipstick pickups
A few muck ups due to substitute parts when I couldn’t get what I designed for. Will make an amendment video in the future showing more.

Genius how you imitated the side tape. Will never come off!

Thanks! I think it worked out alright - did a good job of covering up any ply grain too.

Can you please tell me what type of paint you used for the edges ie was it latex or rubberised or whatever thanks for the great videos

I really liked the bed liner idea instead of regular edge banding.

Thanks. I thought it had a good texture with no potential future lifting issues like the originals.

Haha the intonation sounds a bit off at the end there and perhaps you should have used a vinyl strip for the white sides but all in all great job.

@MikeHawkey 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, new strings and sub par playing attempt! (and a bit more time on bridge setup) Vinyl stripe would have been more original/traditional - thought they don’t have the best track record of staying permanent. Really I just wanted to try an idea though. Thanks for watching!

They look great but sound like cold dump.

Like ‘cold dump’ or ‘a cold dump’?. To be fair, they sound better in the hands of someone who can play (and once setup…). Thanks for stopping by!

Did you spray an orange primer for the green one?

@MikeHawkey 7 ай бұрын

I cant recall now if im honest. Possible I used for base sanding coat followed by grey over - i may have used whatever I had at home. However- if asked I would say use grey for all light colours.

14:14 Hey what have you used for this pickguard? I tried to search for the material used on the original Danelectros guitars, but I couldn't find anything. On KZfaq I've seen a video of a "replica" build, where the builder used masonite for the pickguard as well. I'm pretty curious about this

@MikeHawkey 8 ай бұрын

Hi. My pick guards on these builds was a 3mm plywood. I wasn’t going for exact replica in my two. Not seen masonite thinner than 5mm in my neck of the woods - but it would work well - though give it a protective clear coat of something just for longevity. Thanks for dropping by & good luck!
