   Well you’ve beaten me to it! That is a very strange looking guitar, my friend’s dad used to have one very similar back in the 80′s it may have been a Danelectro and it felt very strange, not the most comfortable design. I think the grey sunburst accentuates those horns too and makes it look even more pronounced. It’s kind of like a 70′s version of a B.C. Rich! nice find!

   Indeed, one of the strangest guitars I have seen and I have the feeling that is not designed to look strange but to find it’s own way. Because I have also seen electric guitars designed just to look strange. This one I think that tries to find it’s way around.

   For Jon: About your dad’s friend, I guess he loved it since we all love out toys and I have also seen people playing strange looking guitars with the biggest possible joy. It is all about the feeling.

   For axl… as you know, I don’t dare go on stage with that! You know my taste in music better than a lot of people. By the way, I think you wouldn’t dare also

   What’s the big deal? I don’t get it.

   I’d much prefer a Danelectro (which play great, btw) than a BC Rich or Kramer or something hideous like that.

   For GLW: thanks for commenting, hope to see you back. By the way, I didn’t play a Danelectro guitar, so I can not tell you how playable it is. You say that it plays great, so you must know, I don’t argue with that. Just that it is very ugly

   I think I’d have to go head to head with you on that one GL, I’d take a Kramer over a Danelectro but maybe not a B.C. Rich!

   [...] First of all, who would be the manufacturer? Will it be Fender? Will it be Gibson? Will it be Ibanez? Will it be Danelectro?   (I put it here since I had reactions on the post about Danelectro Longhorn) [...]

   [...] I have just visited Paul Gilbert’s website, http://www.paulgilbert.com. He has a section called magazines featuring magazine covers presenting him. Used to seeing him with his signature models, it was strange to see him using some guitar that I think it is a Danelectro Longhorn. Check the picture, I think I am not wrong and compare it to the one here. [...]

    Kramers are vile. Firewood in my opinion.

    I’d love to take a Dano Longhorn like that to the stage. For me, the stranger, the better.

    Hey, one man’s ugly is another man’s punk rock. There’s a video on YouTube of Link Wray in 1960 playing a Danelectro Longhorn. Checkitout:

    Not his best tune ever, IMHO, but it’s cool to see…

    I am watching “The Who” on the Biography channel, and in a very early clip they just showed Pete Townsend playing a Danelectro Longhorn.

    The sound is distinctive and even if I don’t like how it looks, I can appreciate the fact that in some cases it is absolutely needed.

    Makes sense that Townsend is rocking the Longhorn. Link Wray was one of his biggest influences, and Link played one a lot.

    “He is the king. If it hadn’t been for Link Wray and ‘Rumble,’ I would have never picked up a guitar. ” –Pete Townsend
