I chose Danelectro cause they got their own thing goin on. I mainly bought this guitar because of its looks. But man, after plugging it in, the sound really bought me.
I just love that pickup combination.
You can really hear a difference between all 3 switches. I've already found use for all sounds I can get from that guitar. P90 sound is darker/fatter and great for garage stuff like Sonics, White Stripes, Oh Sees, and so on. HB lipstick is brighter and you can get great western-like sounds from it. When paired together (middle switch position), you get well balanced sound for everyday use :)
Another thing, this guitar sounds amazing acoustically. It resonates very good and has unique sound to it.
And last but not least, the sustain. That sustain, man. Never heard such good sustain on guitar for this money. I've played open chord, put guitar down, left to get groceries, came back and its still ringing (well now I'm exaggerating but you get the point:)
