Show me your instrument...

I actually don�t know the exact model or year simply because I never cared for such things. I tried it and it felt right so I bought it. I used to have a BC Rich Warlock and before that a cheap strat copy. I�m trying to find a picture of my Parker Fly but I�ve only found this one that looks similar but a bit more modern:

that might be a 15" speaker

the reason they are so cheap is that the body is a plywood frame covered in masonite, and they're made in Korea.

Jimmy page used to use one for slide guitar (for example, on In My Time of Dying)
-that would be one of the originals from the 50s; right now the company is in their 2nd resurrection (they had a series of reissues in the 80s or 90s IIRC).  These new ones - or at least, if you get one of the "Pro" models - are a little higher end than the old ones.  No more wobbly wooden bridge, the pickups are slightly higher output, the tuners are a bit better, etc.

The Dano is a great blues and classic rock guitar.  It's fairly cheap, but has wonderful tones courtesy of those lipstick pickups.
However, I put some flatwound strings on it, and it's perfect for jazz now - which is what I use it for

Is the Danelectro any good?

Heh, that Katana bass really looks like you could stab someone to death with it.
