~2010 Danocaster Freakin branded era S Style Don Mare pickups Black
No sales tax for customers outside California.
Danocasters are widely regarded as the best feeling and playing Fender style guitars out there. This particular example is from the late 2000s or early 2010s, when Dan was putting the Freakin logo on the headstock. Fender ultimately required a change, after which the guitars were branded as Danocaster.
Dan's work on the back of his necks achieves the vintage feel. No Fender custom shop guitar has come as close to the feel of the 1959 Strat we have in stock, but Danocasters do.
This guitar is loaded with Don Mare pickups, which are highly regarded on their own. The relic work on the guitar is light, not overdone. The guitar is likely 14 to 15 years old, and it doesn't seem likely that use throughout the years has changed the guitar's overall condition all that much. That said, there was some fretwear up the neck, so a fret crown and polish was performed in our shop prior to listing the guitar.
Overall this is a superb guitar at the right weight.
Includes a Danocaster gig bag.
