The original Danelectro company was founded by Nathan “Nat” Daniel in 1947. They pioneered tube amps in the 1940’s. Their guitars were king of the rock scene in the 50’s and 60’s. In 1956, Danelectro introduced the six-string baritone guitar. In 1966, Danelectro was sold to MCA. A year later, the Coral line, known for its hollow-bodies and electric sitars, was introduced. In 1969, the Danelectro plant in the USA closed for business and the brand faded into obscurity. In the late 1990s, the Danelectro brand re-emerged replicating old Silvertone and Danelectro guitar models. Since 2006, Danelectro guitars have been produced in limited edition runs each year.
