Danelectro Longhorn Baritone Demo | First Look

Subscribe to PG's Channel: bit.ly/Subscrib...
Hail the horns! Dano's radical thumper returns at an ultra-accessible price.
Plywood bodies, lipstick tube pickups, and chicken-head concentric knobs: Danelectro isn't a brand that’s known for playing it safe. Even still, the Longhorn Baritone’s blend of rustic country charm and retro-futurism is just as wild today as it was when the guitar was first released in the ’50s! This bass-meets-guitar design sports a hybrid 29.72-inch scale length - which sits between a standard baritone and a short-scale bass - to cover the deep-sounding B-B range. The Longhorn Baritone’s tonal depth comes out loud and clear through a pair of Danelectro’s legendary high impedance Lipstick pickups, gracing the extended range growl with a touch of chime and jangle. Finally, this Dano’s open and airy tone comes courtesy of its semi-hollow plywood frame, topped with composite hardboard - faithful to the original department-store charm of the original Danelectros!

I like it when people still use a amp with a microphone instead of speaker simulator for demos. You can really hear the instrument tones and vibe so much better IMO.

[@corbinhaynes7543]

Agreed, as long as they actually mic it properly like this. Instead of chucking a random cheap mic or phone just anywhere across the room and to the side, so it sounds terrible and you can hear the strings buzzing and clicking over top.....in that case I'd rather have an IR of something well known lol

[@andredegiant3876]

If anyone is looking to upgrade the tuners, they're true 8mm vintage holes and not 10mm, just an FYI. Have the 56, Dano makes some really killer baritones

[@kevongordon2675]

I love watching this dudes interviews and demos so polite and knowledgeable! Keep it up

[@arustydodge2111]

That was PHENOMENAL, JOHN! Wow! ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@guymansfield-smith1135]

Looks great. Only enhanced by the great playing!

[@Monsterdrumma]

I love the sound of these and lipstick pickups! Stevie sounded killer on his white strat with lipsticks in it, they scream when you attack the guitar and have a beautiful but not annoying trebly sound.

[@ozgonc]

I've heard a hundred players cover Supersition, none as funky as John 'The Man' Bolinger

[@michaelparson-mcnamara782]

Thanks John! I've had 5 over the past 6 decades; a Dano Dolphin head '56, a Strat Sub-Sonic (27"), a Jerry Jones Neptune Bass6 (before they went WAY up in price), and finally a Schecter Hellcat VI with tappable mini humbuckers. BUT the Longhorn has always been my favorite - I loved the JJ Neptune! So I'm aiming for one of these reissues.

[@michaelparson-mcnamara782]

In the late '90s, I lucked into a Jerry Jones Jupiter longhorn Bass6 for $750 and was thrilled to have it. I'd had a mid '90s Dano single cut with the wood saddle, previously. 2008 came along and I had to sell it. Then it was a Schecter Hellcat VI with mini humbuckers..... had to sell that one, too. Now I'm hoping to get one of these .... It's about time they reissued it, too! Gotta love a longhorn bass six!

[@thesnapperkeeper]

Beautiful playing 👍🏻

[@badtweed2087]

One the very best of the online guitar gear reviewers for sure! A few seconds into this review I was thinking, "why play that material on this iconic bass" but my attitude changed as you went on and you eventually hit the solid single low note tones to display what I was hoping to hear from this demo. Just a few long notes held and the added iconic tremolo/vibrato made this review complete imnsho. 😀

[@gregoryguarneri8473]

JB does the best reviews!

[@AlOKaneMusic]

Great intro John!

[@donhall2759]

Nice choice for an intonation demo...if it sounds in tune on Blackbird, it'll sound good on anything! I love baritones, thanks for the review.

[@thedondeluxe6941]

I had one of the 90's re-issues of this model. Fun guitar, but I remember the bridge pickup was very underpowered on those. Couldn't really get enough signal for high gain stuff without using both pickups. This definitely sounds like an improvement.

[@gdrugg2006]

using a danelectro for high gain is crazy

[@thedondeluxe6941]

Tell that to Jimmy Page!😄@@gdrugg2006

[@TheBotsra]

Grt playing John

[@paultorbert6929]

Been lusting for a baritone for years....

[@FC-cz6zd]

Not sure why, but baritones with a tremolo is just magic.

[@RossD8]

Baritones are great. I love 'em. I get one....play it for a while...and then it sits. Then gets sold. Repeat as necessary. And the Dano Longhorn will probably be the next baritone on this merry-go-round.

[@JonNewquist]

Dig it! Would be cool to get a reissue Guitarlin that played in tune all the way up the neck too.

[@JonNewquist]

@premierguitarist piss off, scammer.

[@automatics1im]

Glad they kept the concentric controls.

[@fatherrikhi3464]

WANT!!!

[@lilian896]

Baritones have got to be the hottest thing now! Sounds great.💙

[@lilian896]

@premierguitarist 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

[@bradleyberdahl6148]

i dont know why but....That INTRO got in my head ,AND my hips. Im as white as white gets half german half norwegian.....i cant and dont dance!!! ...anyway,just love your style Mr Bollinger! (hello from Minot nd usa)

[@jeff7764]

I’m reading this comment with a ND/Minnesota accent.

[@sunflowerhaze1498]

When does this get released? Oh nice ending with the slide and damn that sounds amazing!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I like John’s playing. Good review. I didn’t like the sound of the Phase 90 in the intro

[@stringybarkin]

The dirty slide is what I wanted to hear, cheers

[@bsjeffrey]

not sure how you switch between the pickups.

[@realdocloco]

You cut the volume on the one you don't use

[@bsjeffrey]

@@realdocloco still don't understand how. he says the 2 knobs are volume and tone. how do you control both volumes?

[@realdocloco]

@@bsjeffrey each "knob" is a double knob (see the white part and the brown part? those are two different knobs)

[@bsjeffrey]

@@realdocloco ah, thank you.

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

are you selling that bridge separately?

[@mimoochodom2684]

What about through a Marshall?

[@ikestoddard2458]

Those lipstick pickups have very “superstitious” tone, no? Lol!

[@maxlazar2938]

Anyone know when these are droppin?

[@smelltheglove2038]

Link Wray

[@christopherkennedy873]

How much do these weigh?

[@alpep1307]

Art deco?

[@snorrevonflake]

This is the Link Wray Guitar, why not feature some of his licks, the reviewer clearly did not know what to do with this.

[@Nickpaflas]

if you buy this you are legally required to play Tuff Enuff

[@Bhatt_Hole]

Plywood body?????

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

The playing is terrific, but despite that, I think the guitar itself is a little cheap sounding.

[@admbrnk3665]

That’s part of the charm, man.

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

​@@admbrnk3665 Nah. Whatever is in that sound, it's not adding character for me -- it's almost like an unmusical buzzing sound.

[@taylordiclemente5163]

You should demo a guitar clean with no effects, and offer the DI sound and also the miked room sound with an amp. Otherwise, you are wasting our time.

[@ripit.3457]

can’t wait to show up my thall bands’ next show with this tuned to drop c#-1

[@lukespread]

Good playing.

[@lukespread]

@premierguitarist Piss off, scammer.
