Borrowing styling cues from the company’s storied past, while adding modern playability and new sonic options, the DANO line was one of the biggest highlights at the recent NAMM show.
The Dan O. Mano series, armed with a pair of P-90 style pickups providing a dynamite match for the DANO's hollow inner body and rosewood bridge.
With their Atomic Age styling – drawing heavily upon Danelectro’s boldly original 1950s roots – and turbocharged retro vibe, the DANO line might be the company’s most true-to-the-spirit guitars ever. Key features include:
Full Bell Headstock, a Danelectro original design dating back to 1954
Rosewood Saddle Bridge, another feature from 1954 prized by generations of players for its warm tone
Skate Key Tuners, gloriously recapturing the Danelectro vibe from 1958 with smooth, modern tuning accuracy
Ultracool vintage colors – all of them authentic to the 1950s
And every DANO® guitar comes with a FREE 8-page collectable reproduction of a Danelectro catalog from the 1950s!

![Your Guitar Pick Matters — Heres Why Brendon Small Made the Change
Full Rig Rundown: https://youtu.be/zdvJBkNGriA
Visit Dethklok: https://dethkloklive.com/
Fellow shredder Jason Richardson gives the golf-pro approach to assessing Brendon Smalls playing technique that revealed a small-but-impactful change improving his onstage efficiency and performance.
This spring, the revered death metal band Dethklok—the very definition of TV turned reality, after the band jumped from the show Metalocalypse onto real stages nearly two decades ago—has been on tour with Swedish melodic death-metal giants Amon Amarth. Last month, they blew the roof off of Fenway’s MGM Music Hall, and PG’s Chris Kies joined Dethklok leader Brendon Small, bassist Pete Griffin, and guitarist Nili Brosh’s tech Robb Philpotts before the gig for this new Rig Rundown. We’ve gathered a few highlights below; watch the video for the complete picture.
