Danelectro Wild Thing review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

A truly eccentric guitar, the Danelectro Wild Thing delivers on its promise of unique looks and impressive tones. With its psychedelic design and candy finishes, it may not appeal to everyone visually, but its performance is undeniable. The guitar boasts a comfortable neck and versatile sounds ranging from warm jazz to choppy funk, thanks to its Dano Lipstick pickups. However, its outlandish appearance might be too bold for some tastes. Overall, the Wild Thing is a well-priced option for those seeking a distinctive guitar that stands out both visually and sonically.

Decent guitar, needs modding

I like the guitar, it plays well, but the bridge is a solid wood peice, making intonation impossible. I'm going to try mdding it to put a new bridge on it. Love the way it's a mostly solid body guitar, but resonates like a hollow body (the interior is semi-hollowed just to give more room for wiring and such, so its not a traditional semi-hollow, but its not a solid body either). Love the guitar, but the bridge is a huge drawback
