Really cool - but too expensive for what they are and where they are from, nostalgia aside... Like with most of these things they're probably a better deal 'slightly used' IMO
 
Danofan

I've had mine for about ten years now and it still plays well with a tone that is Dano and only Dano. I always enjoy playing it! It goes to show you that tone wood isn't everything! Whoda thought.:D
 
I have a new plywood Dano Bass that sounds identical to my Ric 4003:cool:
 
I want one badly... I was touring with a band in the UK a couple of years ago and they were going for really low prices so I seriously considered getting one but I had already gotten a new Les Paul and I had to get my other guitar back home, so I didn't have enough luggage-weight left to get the Dano.

It haunts me to this day... :(
 
There was a slightly damaged one on Ebay downunder I was watching - started at about AUS$50 so I kept an eye on it as I've almost always wanted one - must be my single coil fetish - in the last couple of hours it went for over 400. Thats with the top layer of masonite lifting and no case.
I demured when it passed 200.
 
I live in Neptune now, but back in the day I was down this way and found one one a music shop wall for $50...one of the old ones with the pseudo-Fenderish Coral headstocks.

It sounded great, and I hate to say that it eventually got thrown in the trash. Wish I still had it.

Around here, the open jam used to include a bunch of old guys playin Danos and Kramers that left the factory one piece at a time.
