Danelectro Dead On 67 Electric Guitar, Owned By The Vaccines

A very special piece of indie rock history up for hire: The Vaccines' lead singer/guitarist Justin Hayward-Young's Danelectro Dead On 67. Complete with original strap, gaffer-taped in case of high-energy performance. This was the beloved companion for the bright, punchy guitar sound that has characterised The Vaccines since they first hit our ears late in 2010 with "If You Wanna" (a defiant earwor...m, if ever there was one). This guitar has retro written all over it: - The "Totally Shielded" truss-rod cover, not just a logo, but a truth - not a touch of buzz or hum from the electrics. - The audio-style volume and tone knobs, in line with the original 67 models, and bringing a home-made to production feel to the set-up. - The characteristic lipstick single-coil pick-ups - as the story goes, back in the early days, Danelectro sourced a job-lot of lipstick tubes to house their pick-ups, and have stuck with that unique look ever since. - The homegrown bridge and vibrato system - the essence of simplicity, no elegance, but perfect for narrow pitch variation. - The back to the 60s look of the "mother-of-shower-curtain" pickguard. - And, of course, that wonderfully sculpted retro body profile. A timeless retro classic that's made its mark on stage, studio and video. Classic. Happy to include a support pack at no extra cost, with: - 5 Picks - Clip-on Tuner - Strap - Hercules Mini Stand - Cleaning Cloth. Happy to meet personally in London to hand over.
