With small adjustments of volume and tone when using both pickups, a noticeable and surprising change in tone character can be realized. Controlling the volume and tone of each pickup simultaneously allows for many tone combinations.Īs a studio musician, noting the flexibility of the DC12's pots, one can feel and hear the Dano volume and tone controls to be intuitive and easily controlled. The concentric volume/tone controls is a design way ahead of its time for guitars. If processed properly, the clear highs on this Korean issue Dano 12 string can be distilled allowing a nice jangle to the tone. The sound of the older Korean lipstick pickups on this 12 string Dano is quite good actually. The older original Silvertone Danos were shielded at the factory with heavy brass. Trying to shield these reissue Dano guitars is an effort as the hollow body construction makes it difficult to apply any shielding to where a real Faraday cage can be constructed to encapsulate the controls, for example. Nat Daniels used to demonstrate his buzz-proof single coil guitars at NAMM shows in front of a neon light display he'd set up. It appears that the shielding efforts taken on by Nat Daniels, did not make it to the drawing board on the reissues and was left out in production. Of all my guitars the DC12 reissue from Korea is the noisiest. The downside is the buzz and hum from the electronics. I have a 1999 to early 2000's made in Korea DC12 that sounds great when recorded properly.
