Needing to make way for other purchases, I’m regrettably parting with this beauty of an electric 12 string. Danelectro has a few models of 12 string guitars, and this one is my favorite. Plays great and sounds awesome. Very addicting when played amplified, or just strumming around on the couch. Throw a compressor between it and an cleanish amp and it instantly sounds like a record. So cool. I initially got this after doing a recording session with a Rickenbacker 660 12-string, and afterward the brilliant engineer was talking about their tuning issues and the fact that these newer Danelectros really do a great job for a fraction of the cost of a “Ricky”. He wasn’t wrong. This guitar is in beautiful shape, excellent condition. I’m the second owner. Some reflections appear in the photos as it is quite a shiny finish, but rest assured it looks great.

The humbucker in the bridge can be split to a single-coil via push-pull knob, plus it has a fat single coil in the neck. Three way pickup switch for five different sounds, if I’m doing the math right. Each combination sounds fantastic, even before touching the super responsive master volume and tone controls. Lots of sustain! The burst is kind of dark red to black. Pound for pound this is pretty unbeatable if you’re looking for that 12 string jangle. It’s extremely likely that I buy another one of these models down the road. I love it, but don’t use it enough at the moment and would rather someone else get to enjoy it. Available to demo through an amp in Belltown.

Asking $460, thanks for looking.
