Typical U256 consruction with all the basic gizmos. I own 2, the Aquaburst and a Limo Black.
Sound
:
10
I definately like the sound that this guitar produces. I like the throaty low end of the sound, but I think I would go for a larger gauge string for the high end sound, a little too twangy sometimes. I'm playing it through a Danelectro Dirty 30 amp (which I love) and I get some very pleasant sounds out of it. As for a variety???? I wouldn't know too much right now--I'm a beginner--but I am happy so far.
Action, Fit, & Finish

No Opinion
I have found no defects in the construction whatsoever. Call me lucky. I'm on the bandwagon for different tuners and strap pegs though.
Reliability/Durability

Um, not real sure if it would hold up in gig circumstances, but it does real well in my house. I would probably try it out somewhere. So far I've had no problems. Had both guitars for about a 6 months, so far so good. Seems pretty well made.

Thankfully I haven't had the opportunity to use the customer support, I hope I never do.(I'm knocking on wood as I type this)

Although I haven't been playing for a long time, I am a Danelectromaniac. I've got 2 guitars, an amp, 3 pedals, gig bag and a hard case that is on order......all Danelectro. I love the retro look and sound of this model in particular and would have no problem with buying another model. As for buying 2 in such a short time? I'm a lefty, so when I saw the U2 in Aquaburst I fell in love with it. As for the second, the deal was too damn good to pass on. I would recomend these guitars to anyone.
