The bodies are made of a pressed paper material. Then you only need to make sure the tuner end are securely wrapped and strings are streached.Īs far as modding Danelectros, Anything to do with the body I would leave alone. This will prevent ant slippage of the windings on the ball end. For tuning issues, A littel trick I've used is to douse the ball end of guitar strings with crazy glue and let it dry, wipe off excess. I'm not a big one for modding something that doesnt need it. Then in a few months if you have some kind of issue address it. If you've been on the fence about picking up an electric 12-string, this is a great guitar with which to get started.I'll soon post a homemade demo video so that you can know a bit more about her :-) - didn't find any on YT.If its a good functioning guitar why not just play the hell out of it? Put on some CDs and plug in and start riffing. This is a great sounding guitar is a unique style. There is also a two-way toggle switch which allows you to bypass the rotary switch and activates all of the pickups in series. This rotary switch allows you to select each pickup alone, as well as any two pickups in series. The Hodad 12-String has a Rotary “Select-o-Matic” Switching System to select among its different tonal variations.
The neck feels slick and fast, and the string pairs are spaced just far enough to prevent you from tangling one pair with another when playing solos or arpeggios, yet they are close enough to permit very comfortable finger placement, and ease of picking, making the transition from playing a 6-string guitar to the Hodad 12-String an effortless task ! The scale length of the Hodad 12-String is similar to most guitars, in that it is 25 inches (a Fender American Stratocaster has a scale length of 25.5"). The neck of the Hodad 12-String Guitar is made of very hard Maple, with a Rosewood fingerboard, and it has 21 medium frets. Also strings have been used something like 10 times since the last change of all 12 strings. It has a unique metal-flake finish that appears black purple until you get up close or put the guitar into the light, it's sparkling purple !!! This guitar is in a very very good condition and hasn't seen too much playing time. So I copy and complete here a very useful description :ĭanelectro Hodad 12 String Guitar with 3 Lipstick Pickups & Danomatic Control : This guitar was made in Korea in the late 90's. There is also another selector that allow you to use the three lipstick microphones at the same time, and sounds brilliant (one of my favorite positions) !
I hope to get it back before mid-october ! Before that you won't be able to try it I'm afraid. Right now the guitar is at the repair shop in order to make the 5 position selector stop its (little) noise when you're changing position - it's gonna be like brand new. Truly very rare guitar in a very very good shape !
