1957 Danelectro U1 Coral Red
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This Danelectro U1 from 1957 sports the coolest color offered on the one-pickup-wonder, coral red.
The guitar doesn't just have irresistible looks, it plays killer too. Our guy, Tim, was amazed at how well it set up and intonated, despite the simple Dano bridge.
The guitar is all original but did once have a different set of tuners installed. Any evidence of this is covered by the existing, correct tuners.
The original case is included. These cases are always a little wonky and are not what you'd want to carry the guitar around in regularly. The hinges and latches all work, but the latches are a bit prone to slipping.
