BillWelcome Home Studios Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Okay, should I sell of the '62 DuoSonic, the '68 336 12 string, or the mid-60s J-160e? Maybe the '67 Silvertone/Danno amp in case guitar? Bill "I believe that entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot."

rw2003 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I dunno... my theory is hold on to something unless you need the money or don't have room for it anymore!

It is partially the room issue, as I have moved into an apartment; and partially that I believe that these fine instruments deserved to be played. I have four guitars sitting out now, there really isn't any room for more. (sigh....)

I sold one 60s Fender XII last year... I've still got the 335-12, the Firebird 12, and another Fender XII. So that is logical. I just don't think that I can get much for it.

Caevan O’Shite Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The Silvertone/amp-in-the-case dealy; those are overrated, if you ask me, when it comes right down to playing it, and not entirely irreplaceable... (Unles you've got a particularly, unusually "special" one, or it has some serious sentimental value for you, personally.) You could build a better low-powered tube-amp yourself, and a better guitar!

Hey, don't think I'm prejudiced or anti-Dano; I like a good vintage Dano. But it's been my experience that those Silvertone/Danos with the amp-in-the-case usually aren't examples of "a good vintage Dano". The case-amp was always the better item of the two, when I've run across intact-pairs; the guitars were kinda lacking all-around, even compared to other budget Danelectros. Just my experience, though, there may be some out there that'd surprise me! Their biggest selling-point and market-value has long been their nostalgaic kitschy-campy novelty-status; somewhere between Radio-Flyer pedal-cars and Chia-Pets, as guitars go. My point was, the Silvertone and case-amp would likely be the least missed and most easily replaced of those listed. I don't think he's gonna easily or even cost-effectively build a substitute for the 12-string Gibson electric semi-hollow, or find a good replacement for a bargain. Same with the Gibson flat-top. Maybe the little short-scaled Duo Sonic, they're somewhat of a bargain as '50s- and '60s-vintage Fenders go, and Warmoth (among others) may cary just the necks and bodies to come close to, if not actually replicate, a Duo-Sonic...

And yeah, I've never played an amp in case but I can't see how they could be that good for the price. And there's still lots of them around. The other bits and pieces are rarer. BTW: I posted that thing about the mopeds and then wondered whether I really meant it and about what you had meant and so on and so forth. I was going to edit but I wasn't sure where I was going with that and then the phone rang and I had to get back to work Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
