DISC Danelectro Hodad Guitar, Gloss Black

Full Description

Reminiscent of West Coast surf-style, the Danelectric Hodad Guitar remains as true to tone as ever. The doublecut reissue Hodad takes the original bodyshape that we first saw in the mid 50's and makes it more eyecatching than ever with cola bottle headstock shape and Satin Nickel hardware. Adding to the retro vibe are the Hodad's enclosed 'Kluson'-style tuners.

The twin alnico-powered Lipstick case pickups have warmer spec windings which offer sweeter tones and slightly hotter output, inspired by the Lipstick pickups first added to guitars by Danelectro founder Nathan Daniel in 1947. Pearloid dot inlays on the rosewood fingerboard compliment the hardware and simple volume and tone controls.

Press Reviews

"Like a vintage Dano on steroids, the Hodad looks great, plays sweetly and costs less. Get one while you can; every Danelectro is limited and when they're gone, they're gone". "
