Danelectro / 4423 Longhorn Bass / 1960 / Copperburst / Bass
|
In 1958 Danelectro issued one of the most twisted guitars ever made, the Longhorn. With squat body and exaggerated cutaway horns, it looked like an Aeolian lyre imported from the Twilight Zone. The designer, Nathan Daniel, drew the design while doodling one day and found that it was well balanced and made all the frets easily accessible. Three models were offered, a six-string bass, a four-string and the Guitarlin, a 31-fret guitar. All models came with a cream-to-bronze “appliance burst” finish.
This Longhorn from 1960 has been fully restored to almost brand-new condition by its previous owner. He refinished the bass completely in the original colour scheme, leveled the fretboard and placed new frets. The machineheads were replaced with new reissue Klusons. The control knobs were renewed but the pickups and electronics are still original.
