Description
This is a 1998 Danelectro U2 ’56 reissue dual pickup, hollow body guitar. It is in coral finish and in near-mint condition.
This guitar is very cool looking and it sounds amazing! The tone is exactly what you want it to be like. This comes from the combination of a hollow body and lipstick pickups. Ronnie Wood, Steve Perry, and Mark Knopfler all played Danelectro U2s.
It has such a classic look and the color makes it pop and really stand out.
