00:00What's up? It's Paul from Guitar World. I am here at NAMM 2026 at the Dan Electro booth with my
00:05good friend, Bennett.
00:07How's it going, Paul? Nice talking to you.
00:09Good to see you.
00:10So we got some real exciting stuff going on here at Dan Electro. The whole aim of the game this
00:14year is getting back to the 50s.
00:15We got 14 total new guitars, 3 new models. So real exciting stuff.
00:21Firstly, this one's called the Dano Cool. All of these ones are going to be called Danos now, which you
00:25can tell on the headstock there.
00:26We're calling it Dano. Yeah. Everything about these is 1950s. So you can tell from that full belt headstock.
00:33The skate key tuners up here, very 50s style, all the way down to the Rosewood Bridge.
00:39Three-way switch?
00:40Three-way switch, yep.
00:41Select or like it. What's with the new knobs? I love it.
00:44Yeah, so these actually we got from a 1930s radio, and we remodeled them to make them into guitar knobs.
00:50What about the pickups? Are the same lipstick pickups?
00:54Yes. So they're actually better than they've ever been. This one's 30% hotter in the bridge here, and then
00:5820% hotter in the neck.
01:00Awesome.
01:00So they sound great.
01:01So we got a little bit of bite and a little bit of output.
01:03This one might be the most exciting of the new line. But of course, these are B90 style pickups, and
01:07the Dan Electro, first time we've ever done that before.
01:10So it's really awesome. Of course, you know, the Dan Electros meet the semi-hollow body that they are.
01:14Gives a very resonant sound with that B90. I think these things are just awesome.
01:18So, same thing. Love the new knobs on. The control knobs look great.
01:24Yeah.
01:24What a great colorway, too.
01:26I love the color of this one.
01:27And are these just, are these about the, have a higher output, or just a straight-up B90?
01:34They're basically a straight-up B90, but these are brand new, too. These were specifically for Dan Electro.
01:39Made for you guys.
01:40Yeah. These are called the Dan Electro Golden 50s.
01:43Yeah.
01:44So, as you can see here, we got this finish from a 1950s kitchen table.
01:48Oh.
01:49We wanted to put it right on the guitar there.
01:50Yeah, I was going to say, this is like a countertop.
01:52Exactly.
01:53Right?
01:53Finally, we got the baritone and the 12-string. So these have been real popular. They only come in these
01:59colors for right now.
02:00Okay.
02:01But, yeah, these have been awesome.
02:03But, yeah, the same, all the new cosmetics have looked really great on these.
02:08Well, one special feature about these, of course, it's got, you know, the three-way selector as usual.
02:12Yep.
02:12But on the humbuckers down here, you can get just the bottom one if you pop out there.
02:16Oh, we got coil tapping here.
02:17Exactly.
02:18Wow.
02:18So that's cool.
02:19That's a first for Dan Electro, right?
02:21It is a first for Dan Electro.
02:22How about that?
02:22That's cool.
