L-R: Late 90's Dano U2 reissue, Sound Guitar Works roasted ash/roasted maple partsmaster with Nep-Tone pickups, Silvertone 1303/U2 reissue, late 90's Dano U1 reissue.
The white Dano is really my go-to. When not playing with a band I tend to play fingerstyle and it's really the perfect electric for that. It's also my only guitar that has a name - Toru after the protaganist in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. It had a blue stain on the top that mysteriously appeared and disappeared. The only mod is Allparts Kluson-style tuners in place of the stock ones.
The SGW partsmaster needs some further work (deepening of the neck pocket and fretwork), but is still pretty cool. It has a really great spy movie guitar sound as you might expect. It has a pretty chunky one piece neck which gives it a Tele feel.
The 1303/U2 used to me my main band guitar. It's solid mahogany neck and body. I had a silverburst one until recently but sold it to my drummer. This one has a slightly chunkier neck and is the heavier of the two. It has more of a slashing "blizzard of nails" sound than the Danos. It's stock at the moment, but I'd eventually like to switch it to master volume/master tone and maybe change out the pickguard for brass or celluloid.
The U1 is technically my wife's. I think I may switch it to Nashville tuning.
