Its a BBE wah, really smooth classic tone. I had a bit of a thing for BBE stuff.
There is no getting away from the fact that the danelectro's were always made to be a budget guitar, cheap wooden bridge and lightweight bodies. They do play great but if you are obsessive about intonation and super low set up, you would prob need to replace the bridge with one of their modern pro bridges. The tone you get from that wooden bridge is great though. It really rounds the tone giving it a warm sound. The pickups were always so bright they cut the top of your head off in any other guitar (have seen them fitted to fenders and jackson surf guitars) but on the dano with the semi body and wooden bridge backing off the treble, they work great.
