Anyone ever play any Dano guitars?

For guitars of the straight waisted variety (or reverse offset).

Hey, I was gonna buy that tangerine one, it's gotta be the same one if you're in the UK and it was that price (4Guitars ebay shop?), but I actually changed my mind at the last minute and went for blue. Blue is my colour really, suits me better. But the tangerine is way cool, I had to toss a coin to settle on blue.
It arrived today, truely awesome guitar for the price. Sounds lovely, hotter output than the Jag and obviously way more sustain. It played nice out the box, the action was very low and it sounded good, but I raised it a fair bit so I can use a slide. Still sounds and feels really nice.
I think these Danopros make great slide guitars, I suspected it would and that's what I really wanted it for. I was prepared to take a risk for the price, and it paid off.
After I'd played the Dano for an hour or so, I got out my Jag and played on that for a bit. And I still loved it, even more in fact!
They complement each other really well, they are a nice contrast in the single coil arena.
I don't think I'll need anything else for a while, for what I'm doing at the moment.
Can anyone recommend something half decent to keep the Danopro in? Because of the weird shape, I guess I won't get a hard case.

Well, since not buying the Tangerine, I suddenly have no money. I wasn't expecting to have to pay a £350 deposit for a flat next year. Estate agents are criminals.

But yeah, another one's been listed on eBay.

OF course, I still want it. But I cannot afford. So someone else here please buy it.
Don't you know that's sinful boy?
