Danocaster guitars always exceed expectations. All it takes to understand this is to get your hands on one! That's what you should do with this Doublecut. If you're looking at it now, know that it won't be here long.
I always lean towards Dan's Telecaster style guitars and I own one of my own that I will never sell, unless another Dano along that beats it.
This particular guitar is a stand out as well. The neck is perfect. Dan's finishing is the best. There's no match to the feel. Measuring .88" thick at the first fret, it is carved to a soft V shape - my favorite! The thick rosewood slab looks vintage and played like the back of the neck.
The weight is just about perfect at 7 pounds 7 ounces. The Celentano pickups are new to me, but they sound killer. Check out their website here. It appears that the pickups in this Dano are these.
The guitar is all original and everything is fully functional. I'm not sure there's really anything else to say here. The guitar is really just perfect.
