cedric Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Danelectro DC 59 (Black) | Dolphin MusicWas wondering if any of you more experienced guitar users would be able to help me, looking at starting up again, lats time I tried was when i was 13 had it for a couple of days and sold it but now I am very, very serious about it and need to know if the guitar above would be suitable. I don't really want to spend much well no more than 200 so any help would not go a miss.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well...I'm not enough of a guitarist to give any real advice, but I've a slightly older DanO, and like it fine for recording. I've gigged it a couple of times, but the tuners weren't too reliable. However I believe they've fixed that problem now (using enclosed, adjustable ones now).I suppose a lot depends on the style of music you'll be using it for. IMO it's a great 'garage band' guitar.

Ross. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Diesel on here is selling a Yamaha Pacifica for a really good price which would be perfect if you're just starting out. I started off with one and for the price they really are quite good (mine was a bit dodge, but I just got unlucky). It all depends on what sort of stuff you plan on playing, although the Pacifica would be pretty versatile. Good luck!http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/53628-yamaha-pacifica-gig-bag-stand.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Pacifca's are fairly reliable starter guitars, although the trem units in them are gash. Do they make a hardtail Pacifica?It depends what kind of music you want to play really though. You're not gonna get any chug out of a Dano, but it will twang and jingle better than a Pacifica, or any guitar at that price!I'd love a DC59. They are so cheap too. I might look into one around my birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Danelectros are cool but have quite a distinctive sound and can be a bit "quirky". Seems to me that it's the kind of guitar you may either love or hate.I would agree with Captain Stack that Diesel's Pacifica might be a better bet for a beginner. Great price too, you're never going to lose money on it if you decide it's not for you.Diesel on here is selling a Yamaha Pacifica for a really good price which would be perfect if you're just starting out.

cedric Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Diesel will fire you a pm regarding your sale if you still have it, Also whilst I'm in here saw this one Yamaha Pacifica 412V Natural | Dolphin Music and thought it looked lovely and at a decent price would that be worth getting at any stage?
