Greetings:

I just got my "Dandola" up and running. It appears to be an early Danelectro shop project, but who knows? Body is 12 1/2" at the lower bout; 7 3/4" at the upper bout; scale is approx. 19"; overall length is 32". Custom pick-up with what looks like bondo around the coils/body. Oh yes, the sides are white (or off-white as the case may be) with black stripes, the "vinyl-like material"just like the early Danos. Good news is it plays and sounds great (particularly after a new jack and pot...thanks to Tony Nobles).

Any information is appreciated.

I have one on the No Names page at emando.com. I'm not entirely sure it isn't the same one. Did you pick this up on eBay a few years back?

Yes indeed. I think it was one of my better ebay acquisitions. It is really well built. I've come to believe it was someone working in the Danelectro factory, since there are SO many build/design elements that are Dano.
