The reason the resistance in the middle position is higher is because Danelectros are wired in series instead of parallel. So when you activate both pickups, it is combining their resistance and inductance just like the two coils of a Gibson humbucker. That's why Jimmy Page used the middle position for Kashmir - more output and midrange than the individual pickup positions. This is one of the most unique features of Danelectros and is often overlooked when people install lipstick pickups in Fenders. You really want to combine pickups in series with those. Bonus fact: Brian May's Red Special also combines its low output Burns pickups in series.

They worked ok for what they were. Everybody in our area started on them 'cause they were local (factory was behind my girlfriend's house.

I got my first electric in'64- a "convertible" and a 5 watt amp for $60 US. Good vid, thanks!

One Saturday when I went in for a set of strings they had a knock down price to shift them and I picked one up for £40, bargain! I lent it to my nephew for a bit and when I got it back he'd wrecked the electrics somehow and I just put it aside.

My first guitar that I had my first three years of lessons n was a Danelectro "Convertible" (thin body acoustic with a pickup) with the same short horn body style. Cheap as chips that thing. God awful to play - action was 5" off the fretboard (ok - I exaggerate) but the fact that I stuck with my lessons on that slab of particle board convince my Dad to get me a proper guitar years later because I stuck with it. Now, 60 years later, I still can't get separated from my guitars. I ran across a used one in a store recently - same model I had - still crap to play....LOL. That model seems to be much better!

The tape lifting off of the body sides is practically inevitable. I assume they're rather thoughtlessly stretching it in place. It'll likely be fine at the factory but destined to pull up during shipping. My solution was to take a hair dryer to it and spread/stretch the tape down with my thumb. It's barely a minute of effort and to date (roughly 4 years) it's never peeled back up. Also, more trivia on the series middle position. In one of the many attempts to keep the price down, a generic on-off-on SPDT switch was used instead of a selector switch. Each 'on' position would short-out its respectively opposing coil with the middle 'off' position acting as a freely open path for both. **Another mandatory song: Rebel Rouser on the neck pickup.

This is probably the cheapest "hero" guitar of all time. I have to figure its the masonite construction and the lipstick pickups just costing nothing and the manufacturing being mostly stable without the yearly saga of sourcing the proper wood that other guitar builds require. Well built. Simple controls and layout for that uncomplicated sort of LP Junior effect that focuses you rather than it distracts you. Its cheap, but this guitar slays. Clapton had one. Jimmy fricken Hendrix had one that got burned in a fire and he said it was like his friend died. I bought one and had money left over to buy a Jimmy Page poster and a very high collared shirt ;) Good guitar for learners or giggists. Good guitar.
