Danelectro Dan O. Mano - Black
Serial Number: 779889 Weight: 6 lbs 6 oz
The Danelectro Dan O. Mano takes everything that makes the Dano O such a compelling new chapter—and pushes it into an entirely different sonic lane.
Like its sibling, this model is rooted in what made Danelectro legendary in the first place. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the Dan O. Mano leans even harder into the original spirit of the brand—pulling together vintage-correct design elements and pairing them with a bold, no-nonsense pickup configuration that delivers a whole new voice.
You’re still getting the full bell headstock (1954), the warm and responsive rosewood saddle bridge (1954), and the unmistakable skate key tuners (1958). The rare U3-style pickguard ties it all together visually, giving the guitar that unmistakable mid-century Danelectro attitude.
But where the Dan O. Mano really separates itself is under the hood.
Outfitted with a pair of P90 pickups, this model trades the airy chime of lipstick pickups for something thicker, rawer, and more aggressive. There’s a punch to the attack, a growl in the midrange, and a clarity that holds together whether you’re playing clean or pushing an amp into breakup. It’s a perfect match for players who love vintage character but want a little more muscle and edge on tap.
The rosewood saddle bridge plays a big role here too—rounding off the highs just enough to keep things smooth while letting those P90s speak with authority. It’s a feel and response that’s dynamic, expressive, and incredibly fun to play.
Finished in authentic 1950s-inspired colors never before offered by Danelectro, the Dan O. Mano looks every bit as cool as it sounds.
This is a fresh take on a classic formula—vintage Danelectro design, reimagined with a thicker, more commanding voice.
