I was watching Lucinda Williams on VH-1, and
one of the guitar players had a Dano 12 string.

This is an idea whose time has come. Jangle out the
wazoo.

Is this a standard part of the reissue line or a Frankenstein of
some sort?

Anybody seen one in real life?

There is one in the Guitar Center in on of the Cleveland Subs, or at least
was a couple of weeks ago.

I haven't seen one as a re-issue, but around here there's a band called Blue
Sparks from Hell, and the guitar player has an old one; he's had it for years,
so I guess it was once a standard product.

You know the Sparks? That front man (C. T. Tucker) is a trip. First guy I
ever saw do a set swinging upside down from the rafters. I've played many,
many, gigs with their drummer (that is if it's still Terry Wetmore).

There were a few different Dano and Coral branded 12 string models, but the
most widely distributed models were the one and two pickup versions of the
Vincent Bell designed "Bellzouki"

Yeah, that is (was?) one tight unit, with some real players.

I've been tempted by those Dano reissues but so far have resisted. If they
decide to make a 12-string at a similar price point, I'm there!

It might have been an original as they haven't re-issued them (yet).
They used to make a couple of models in the early days.

When I was over in Nashville earlier this year, I got to meet (and do a
gig with) that guitar player - Kenny Vaughan is his name.

He is into buying guitar parts and making them up into guitars so it
could be a Frankenstein.

Did you get a good look at the name on the headstock? If you didn't
actually see the Danelectro logo, my guess would be that it was actually
a Jerry Jones guitar (he is also based in Nashville). Jones make
replicas of the whole Danno range including custom orders.
Unfortunately, they're not cheap though.
