We finished up making a guitar for our friend Sander Weston recently who’s worked with us on and off over the years. When planning out the guitar he shared a photo of a Danelectro that had a really cool faded Orange satin finish and we mixed up some paint ourselves to match it.

We kept the beautiful Birdseye Maple neck natural with a TruOil finish, a nice contrast to the matte Creamsicle. This one’s a set-neck, glued in with hot hide glue.

The ivoroid binding on the neck and headstock really make that matching headstock pop and give a nice border on the Cocobolo. The cream acrylic guard has been a classic Healy feature from the start so it was an easy choice for this one. Under the silver foil pickup covers are a Suprocaster single coil in the bridge and a Guyatone style goldfoil in the neck.
