Nice colelctor's piece here - vintage U-1 in original unmolested shape. These can be nice players as well so I recommend them especially for bright chimey electric slide tones. The seller seems to know the value and worth of this guitar but is still offering it ata reasonable price.

* Late 1950's Silvertone / Danelectro Model U-1 six string guitar with its original case.
* Plays well / straight neck / low action.
* Strong single coil lipstick pickup.
* All of the parts are original.
* Original black finish with the early Dano headstock design.
* There was a small sticker (store sticker?) on the headstock at one time and there are scuffs and scratches to the body.
* A well made guitar that has stood the test of time and should play and sound great for another 50 years!
