I've always wondered what they'd be like for country. I'm guessing you'd get a lovely, chimey harmony thing going. Very twangy as well.

That's exactly what I used mine for. Chuck on some trem and reverb and it's instant delta-via-Ry Cooder. Hours of fun. I did some recording with mine before I sold it, sounded great.

And not in any way to be confused with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

It's one of those British comedies that only the British could possibly come up with. Creepy, weird, odd and disturbing... but fecking funny.
Very disturbing :D which is the reason I like it...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I liked the film - at least they tried to do something different with it... I agree it's not as good as Series 1 & 2 though.

"Hey Mum, for Christmas there's this guitar I want. Music Planet have them on sale for $300!"

Mum "That would mean you have 5 guitars wouldn't it? Are you sure you want 5 guitars?"
Sister "Why would you need 5 guitars?!"

Then I showed Mum the Keen Green and she loved it! :mrgreen:

Yeah the 63's dont move very well sadly, if Jimmy page played one they would fly out probably but its the 59 and U2 models that seem to shift, trying to talk my boy into one for slide and alt tunings but no he wants the 59 model. I saw a really nice old Silvertone 63 model last week that a friend of mine bought from a pawn shop in the US many years back, its the same shape as the Dano 63 and is complete with the case with the valve amp built in. You can even see the valves in the lid of the case, would be pretty rare. You can buy replacement tape for the 63's from www.danguitars.com plus other bits and bobs. I prefer Music Planet to the other shop as when you buy a $600 guitar from them they dont tell you 6mths later that "life is too short to learn on a shit guitar" which is exactly what happened to me at another shop in ChCh.

I used to have a Danelectro Innuendo. If you find one, try it. Not a bad guitar at all.
