Danelectro Guitars At The 16th Annual Chicago Vintage Guitar Expo
At the 16th Annual Chicago Vintage Guitar Expo, some Danelectro guitars displayed by Chance McFadden of Fort Madison Guitars caught Patrick Ogle's eye. Patrick has always had an affinity for the stylish Danelectro instruments, and Chance is happy to answer his questions.
Find out about how Nate Daniels Electronics became Danelectro and more.
PATRICK OGLE: We're sitting here, we're looking at a bunch of Danelectro reissues, and I have always been fond of some of these guitars just because. The old ones have become their like classics because they're older and they don't sell for enormous amounts of money, even the older ones, but I always thought that these when they reissued them were really neat guitars. You can look at some of them. They're especialy good like if you're looking -- they're inexpensive, 300 bucks for these.
In stores and stuff sometimes you'll see them significantly more than that but the - they're also they're great if you have small hands for like people just learning how to play, women who play. They're also not real heavy. You know I mean they're not the greatest guitars on earth but I think they're kind of neat. They're designed to be -- I always wanted to buy one as a second guitar but I never did.
CHANCE MCFADDEN: Nate Daniel was in the electronics business back in the '40s, and then in 1947 he started this Nathan Daniel Electronics and it got shrunk down into Danelectro guitars. It started in 1947, he had a factory in New Jersey, and he mass produced, the largest manufacturer of guitars, I think, at the time in the United States, and he had a contract with Sears, and he also did other guitars for Harmony and K and some other stuff that he did, and he was very -- he was genius.
PATRICK OGLE: how do you compare these guitars to when the [INDISCERNIBLE] ask me, because I was saying I think the new reissue went in there like a great bargain.
CHANCE MCFADDEN: Oh, they're terrific especially if you see how they're made. I got a -- didn't bring a body with me but I've got a body and I mean they're not chambered. They're hollowed on the inside and their plywood frame, the Masonite top and bottom and sides, and they're hollow on the inside, and what a wonderful concept for a guitar, and it's -- even through the transition of years not being manufactured and the reissues, they still maintain that vibe, that integrity, and that mystique because people just can't afford $3,000 for a Les Paul but you can get this Les Paul copy here -- style guitar for $450 because it's Korean made.
PATRICK OGLE: How would you compare these to the old vintage ones? I mean how do they compare favorably?
CHANCE MCFADDEN: Okay. How would you compare today's Cadillac to a Cadillac from the 1960s? They're both good. They're different. They're eggs and they're oranges, but they -- somehow another Danelectro's managed to keep the mystique and the vibe and the --
PATRICK OGLE: Quality and manufacturing, something you always get concerned about sometimes when they move the factory overseas. As far as I've seen, these have been pretty solidly made.
CHANCE MCFADDEN: Right, right. They are killer and in fact I just bought some -- they keep X amount of guitars back for warranty issues, and then when the warranty runs out on the last guitar, then they sell the guitars. I just bought all them. They don't have any more reissues. You know, whatever warranty issues come up are so minimal and this isn't even we're talking about, and then again I have all the Danelectro parts in stock and everything.
