"Venus" -- Shocking Blue 🆚 Bananarama

[ProfessorGAC]

9. I See Your Edit

That is, indeed, a Danelectro Longhorn.
Don't want it too bad, Sherm.
They don't play well.
Pickups were very noisy and the neck is more like a 2x2 than a guitar neck. Very blocky.
The pickups were the "lipstick case" style.
The remakes probably have better ones, though.
It's also fairly neck heavy. Lots of missing mass with those massive body cuts. I found it very uncomfortable to play standing up.
The originals did not use great wood (some Danelectros were plywood) so, that low body density lends to the heck heavy.
I can see the attraction to the looks, but there's a big reason why they went belly-up. Most DE stuff was junky.
