1998 Danelectro U2 Reissue Review: More Than You Expected But Also Less And Definitely Different

It took me an absolute eternity but here it is, my review on the 90s reissue of the not-so-mythical Danelectro U2, a review that required more work and effort than every single Danelectro ever combined, which is not meant to be an attack on Danelectro but rather a measure of how inefficient and scatterbrained I am.

I suck.

Oh and at 06:26 I did an oopsie. The pots are wired with the terminals in the right order. Here’s a schematic that I checked and it matches the guitar perfectly: https://www.premierguitar.com/diy/mod-garage/diving-into-danelectro

Fuck I knew I was going to find something wrong after the upload!

Now on to the links and sources for all the lovely pictures I used to try and desperately rescue what would’ve otherwise been the most boring half an hour of the entire internets.

SOURCES – LINKS AND DETAILED SOURCE INFORMATION:

I originally intended to provide full detail of every single piece of material used for this video right here on the description, but the 5000-character limit made that impossible.
So, in order to make this information fully available and credit the creators (even if the material is in the public domain because they created the thing so they should be credited anyway) I’ve linked the following documents in varying level of detail for your own convenience:

-Full, unedited source information, in as much detail as it was humanly possible: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AG_q9sLPVtG8b1gYnkiEeIMRRctEdylC/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114373558241902754198&rtpof=true&sd=true

-Slightly simplified version for better reading, with references to the different licensing types cited up top: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o56QXKymSUzTmG8ub6VuvY96p8GKO2fT/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114373558241902754198&rtpof=true&sd=true

-Very simplified version that was never going to be below 5000 characters but I kept plowing through anyway because why not (only brief description and link to sources on this one): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I9rhmFpkrp1dFuP5QeOcyDszZDVl49TU/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114373558241902754198&rtpof=true&sd=true

*All versions are listed in the same order, which is order of appearance, regardless of the level of detail of the specific document.

**All the material is also credited on the video itself for the entire appearance of said material.

FAIR USE RATIONALE FOR THE MATERIAL TO WHICH I DO NOT HAVE EXPRESS COPYRIGHT LICENSING:

All the material is used in an informative way, either to illustrate what is being described, to further enhance a point being made or to aid in the flow of the presentation to keep it engaging, in order to fulfill its purpose of communicating its contained information without becoming monotonous.
-The material was used in the smallest/briefest way deemed possible and only when considered necessary.
-The use of the copyrighted material does in no way have an effect on the owners’ ability to benefit financially from their original work, or in any other way.
-Credit and links to the source material were provided in as much detail as possible on every single occasion.
