Danelectro
Doublenecks
Over the decades, the Danelectro company
has made a surprising number of double-
neck guitars, from the standard six-and-12
arrangement, to guitar/baritone, and even
guitar/bass combinations. The Danelectro
Doubleneck model was original launched
in the late fifties (vintage models go for
a few thousand bucks, in case you were
wondering), but the company has created
some excellent and affordably priced
reissues in various iterations since that
time. For my money, the coolest double-
neck ever is the guitar and short-scale
bass version, but to my knowledge this
one has not been reissued by the modern
Danelectro company. It’s a combo very
rarely seen, and the blend of that lovely
Dano Masonite resonance and the bright,
clanky lipstick pickups is tough to beat for
deeply funky vintage twang tones.
