The only Dano I've ever tried was a used baritone that I'd seen seen at the Guitar Center in Indy, but my experience wasn't very good...not because of the guitar, but because I was SO giddy about having found an actual baritone guitar to try, I momentarily forgot how to play.

Had I had my senses still about me, I could've always asked the guy next to me, trying out a Strat, if he could play an open B, so I could double check the baritone tuning, and go from there. If I could ever find a 6-string Danelectro bass that's tuned like my Fender Bass VI, and if I actually have the bucks available to spend, I'll snag it.
Soon as I get around to it, I'll get 3 Lipstick pickups for my Stratocaster. Should give it a Dano-style chimey tone, while retaining the typical Strat "quack." Have GFS Pro Tubes Lipsticks, for my Squier Fat Telecaster, that I need to get around to swapping into that, along with a 4-way switch, so I can do parallel and series switching. I'm also thinking about adding a switch to my Stratocaster, a la Danelectro style, that'll bypass the 5-way switch and activate all 3 Lipsticks. I may seek out a Dano that's already got the "Blow Switch" before I do, however, just to find out if it's worth adding it to my Strat.
