Anyone know why one of the guitars listed on this page links to a page about an airplane?
Yes.....the Douglas DC3 [ called a C-47 by the Army ] was the workhorse of WWII. There are hundreds of these still flying today. So it shares the name with the Dano guitar.
[edit] The Unique look of the Dan Electro Guitars
The person responsible for the unique look of the Dan Electro guitar is Industrial Designer, Sydney Rose of Little Silver N.J. (just north of Neptune). He also happens to be an artist who makes coin-op "nothing" machines that work by putting a coin in a slot that sets off all kinds of movements. These machines have the same aesthetics as the guitars (as do his paintings). His neihbor and fellow Dan Electro employee Alfred Manfreedi lives down the street and was the guitar repairman that worked on my guitars while growing up. He passed on in the late 80's. Sydney is now in a home for the elderly with his wife Ester. - Kit Krash.
