Danelectro U3pro

I bought it about 10 years ago just for the looks.
It is an improved version of the Dan Electro released in 2001 or so, and differs from the original in that it has a metal bridge and Gotoh pegs, which make tuning more stable! The tuning is much more stable.
I've only used it in the field a few times because it doesn't play or sound good, but I'm thinking of taking it out a bit from now on.
I love the overly flashy look.

The dial type PU selector and the switch next to the PU can produce 7 different sounds (5 sounds like a normal strat, front + rear & all PUs), but as usual, I only use the rear PU. |
