I think Jimmy Page used one a few times here and there.... Slide I do believe...

I like them, that's it on my end..

They look like a lot of fun

Low-Tech

Fibre Board

Sound Good

I like 'em - I have a Korean reissue from the late nineties in Salmon Pink.

 

Good fun for a cheapo guitar.

Page did indeed use an original one for slide work, more than most people realize.

 

The latest ones lack the stacked tone/volume knobs that I like, but I'm sure they're okay as well.

My biggest gripe is that they are made in China now - a country I boycott every chance I get.

 

See if a used one is available online someplace, prices can be pretty reasonable if they aren't black like Page's.

 

Also, check out Jerry Jones for high quality American reproductions;

Thanks a lot. More music porn to drool over.

 

I think Nels Cline has a white-ish Jerry Jones twelve string.

Bought one last year with the stacked knobs. Really light guitar. I use it for slide and DADGAD tuning to nail that Kashmir tone.

 

I use it for alternative tunings since it does not seem to have an adjustable truss rod so I reckon it should be ok.

 

I saw Buddy Miller about a week ago playing with Robert Plant using a danelectro similar to the one above.

Nels Cline rips!
