Worked out a nice trade with another Forum member.........
DANELECTRO '56 U2 VINTAGE STYLE reissue Mint green burst. Collectors take NOTE!
Here is a GREAT Danelectro '56 U2 reissue in a beautiful Green two-tone finish. It is in mint condition and sounds fantastic. Original warranty card, and specs sheet included. I'm the original owner.
Comes with original tweed case (only one in 50 on ebay include the case - they are out of production and impossible to find). Key for case included. I have more pics if desired.
Controls: Large knobs control volume. Small knobs control tone. Knobs closest to the neck control neck pickup. Knobs closest to bridge control bridge pickup.
Toggle switch: Up position = neck pickup on. Middle = both pickups on. Down = bridge pickup on
From Wikipedia: "The Danelectro U2 is a dual-pickup hollow bodied guitar made of Masonite and shaped similar to a Les Paul model guitar.
It was originally made from the years 1956 to 1958 but was re-issued in the late 90s, and again in 2006 in a slightly modified form as the 56 Pro.
The sound of a U2 is distinctive of the Danelectro guitar, coming from its lipstick pickups which when both selected are wired in series rather than the more standard parallel used today by most big brands.
Construction materials used by Danelectro in this period are quite unusual for guitar making. The U2's body is made of a poplar wood frame with Masonite used for both the top and back, with the side of the body being bound with creme colored vinyl.
A single-pickup version, the U1, was manufactured and sold alongside the U2. The U1 and U2 were reissued from 1998 to 2001, along with a new version, the U3 with three pickups and a six-position switch which would allow the player to select bridge, middle, neck, bridge and neck, bridge and middle, middle and neck, or with the "blow" switch, all three pickups at once."
Will trade separately or together with ZB student model pedal steel (listed separately in this forum).
