Re: FS: Danelectro DC 59 ("Jimmy page "Guitar)

[Monica <coolintensity@yahoo.com>]

    I have one of these myself! And everyone makes fun of it because it's

such a cheap and primative guitar...but it's got a great tone - more lower

register - and indeed it's the guitar Page used on tracks like Kashmir + Hanged

Man. And you can get those exact tones at times - you'll be jamming around

and suddenly... wow there it is! You realize how the dark tones of

this particular guitar influenced his music. I paid $500 for mine a few years ago.

I've been told the guitar's only worth $150 for materials and that the new

Danos are exactly the same and much cheaper - but they aren't the same

unique dark tones. Everyone makes fun of me about this guitar but I've

insisted on using it anyhow.
