Good Evening Justin.
If it would not be any trouble for you, could you post the scale length of this Dano lap steel? (From the front edge of the bridge block facing the fretboard ....to the rear edge of the neck nut facing the fretboard). I used to know but just can't find it in my OLD gray matter .
Thank You and Very Best Wishes,

Thank You, Larry.
I apologize for not thanking you until now. I've been quite ill with cancer, and after effects of COVID (aka 'Long Covid', 'Longhaul Covid', and more properly / accurately 'Longhaul COVID Recovery'. But I'm glad I could stumble back here and Thank You.

Wow! These are pretty rare. $800 is probably a really good deal. Not a pretty lap, but I bet it sounds cool!

Hi Denny:
Sorry to hear of your health challenges, but I'm glad to see you're back and also to receive your thanks as well, best wishes and here's to a healthy recovery. (:
The Danelectro is a lot of fun to play, a unique tone, and it looks like it was made in shop class, too. Easily the lightest steel I've played, very resonant. A quirky if not charming piece of the history of the instrument. Nat Daniels was a genius in a lot of ways...
Mahalo!
