Interesting but inaccurate.
replica n., pl. -cas
1. a copy or reproduction of a work of art produced or
supervised by the maker of the original.
exact:
1. Strictly and completely in accord with fact; not deviating from truth
or reality: an exact account; an exact replica; your exact words.
2. Characterized by accurate measurements or inferences with small margins
of error; not approximate: an exact figure; an exact science.
Since Nate Daniels is dead they can't be exact reproductions.
Danelectro (aka Evets Corporation) is not making any guitars they are
subcontracting to have them made in Korea,
Masonite does not sell their Trademarked product into Korea
Alnico magnets are unavailable in Korea as cobalt the "co" in alnico is a
strategic metal used in the production of nuclear arms and it's sale is
strictly regulated. Their pickups have ceramic magnets in them
There never I repeat never were any shiny polyester finished Danelectros built.
The side binding on Evets' product was of the wrong material.
The original U-2's had filter controls not tone controls as are on the
Evet's Danelectros
The pickup covers are not lipstick covers as the originals or Jerry Jones
are. The edges of the covers on the Evet's Danelectro's are squared off
notrounded
They have shitty I mean really shitty tuning machines.
Does Steve Ridinger (of Evets Corp) really own the rights to the
Danelectro name, there is some dispute over this?
Ridinger is the person who ripped off Vox in the 1970's with the FOXX
line, Ripped off pignose with copies, was the person responsible for all
the fake Floyd Rose and Kahler tremoloes in the 1980'. And now maybe he is
misappropriating the rights to Danelectro and making look-a-likes of
Danelectros ..
THEY ARE NOT EXACT REPLICAS and are from from even being close to the
originals and no where near the quality of Jerry Jones' line of
reproductions (Jerry's version were blessed by Nate Daniels, Nate gave
Jerry all the blueprints, vendor sources and the original winding machines
used by Danelectro)

Hey, I have NO IDEA they used Cobalt-60 in alnico. Maybe that's
why my new PUs sound so killer! Sure my nose fell off but hey,
any sacrifice for that SOUND!
