1965 Danelectro Guitarlin
Rare and super cool 1965 Danelectro Guitarlin. Only 200 of these guitars were made between 1958 and 1968 because it was too radical for most guitar players.
It was made famous by the Godfather of distortion, Link Wray. The Guitarlin was built to cover the typical guitar register plus the higher mandolin range, and the instrument’s deep double cutaways provided complete access to its unprecedented 31 frets. The extended rosewood fretboard began with an aluminum nut, and the “Coke bottle” headstock was decorated with the vertical Danelectro logo. Beside Link Wray the guitar was also used by Pete Townshend and others.
This Guitarlin is original and plays very nice. It has wear and marks all over the body and neck but still it's original and beautiful finish. It had a set of other pots installed but the originals are back in. The pots are dated week 32 of 1965.
It has a new hardcase.
Rare and collectible guitar!
