So yeah, I started this today. It's a mix between a Danelectro Hodad and a Mosrite. Took about 2 hours to get this much done




Made out of MDF from home depot.

Interesting! Is it three layered sheets? Did you hollow out the center?

Im going to hollow out the center tomorrow, I didnt have time to do it today. It will be similar to Olav's dano build.

AHA! Somebody else uses Ranger board! Now I don't feel quite so weird!

yeah,couldnt afford anything better at the moment (waiting for that paycheck). Not that I dont love being covered in cancerous MDF dust though

I always wear my trusty mask... Between lacquer and all kinds of exotic wood-dust, guitar making can be pretty hazardous!

I know, right? They should write epic stories and create legends about our exploits!

Anyways, 2 days later, almost done, just have to paint it.

I am so looking forward to hearing this! My Dano is MDF and plywood, I'd be real interested to hear an all MDF guitar.
One thing that puzzles me; why no slant in the pickup? If and when I figure out the 3tone switch I'll let you know Mick. Maybe mrBill can chime in on this, he seems way more knowledgable on this whole wiring mumbo-jumbo in general, freaky Dano wiring in particular.

What do you want it to do? If I remember correctly the 3-pos switch had a factory set bass tone, then a user set tone and the third pos. was straight pickup.

Very nice! I love Danelectros and was playing mine yesterday for the first time in a long time. Danos have a very special, cool sound! I wonder how your MDF Danos compare to that trademark sound.
