Some guitars arrive with glue over-runs on the fretboard and non-flush pickguards, indicating inconsistent finishing.

The rosewood bridge, while offering vintage appeal, lacks precision and can present challenges in achieving accurate intonation.

The binding on some units is reported as plastic tape, which can peel and reveal crusted glue at the edges.

The Dead On '67 model includes four tone and volume knobs, unlike the newer '67 Dano which has two.

The bridge on some units curves downward around the D and G strings, supposedly to aid intonation.

The satin finish on the reissue model is praised for its pleasant feel and aesthetic appeal, adding to the guitar's charm.

The middle position on the pickup selector is noted for being the loudest and fullest, with the other positions sounding weaker.

The bridge design may cause string beads to slip out during restringing and produce rattling sounds with heavy tremolo use.

Threading dental floss or old string through the string ends at the bridge prevents catastrophic string slippage during play.

Owners appreciate the guitar's lightweight body and unique character, despite some discomfort with the neck and dissatisfaction with the tremolo system.

Despite its lightness, the Dead On '67 does not match the extreme lightness of other Danelectro models like the DC-59.

Owners mention that the neck dive is noticeable, but a wide strap can mitigate the issue.

Replacing the stock bridge with a reissue U2 bridge and adjustable saddles, along with neck shimming, significantly improves playability and intonation.

Some owners recommend adjusting both pickups and dialing back the tone knobs to around 80% to reduce treble issues.

The guitar excels in producing bright sounds, making it suitable for early Beatles covers like "Nowhere Man" and "You Can't Do That."
