Mill River Music brings you a used Danelectro '56 U2 Reissue! Based off of the history of this line of guitars, we pinpointed that this guitar is pre-2005, as it has a wooden saddle for adjusting intonation; this feature is something Danelectro changed around 2005 onwards, and every '56 U2 Reissue comes with typical metal saddles.
The Danelectro '56 U2 is a semi-hollow electric guitar featuring a distinctive hollow chambered design and signature Lipstick pickups; we cleaned and restrung this guitar with D'Addario 10s, and found the truss rod still moves well, the playability is great and electronics sound wonderful! There is a lot of music in this guitar to be played, so feel free to come by and ask any questions!
