Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this Vintage! 1950s Danelectro U-1 3011 Electric Guitar finished in Black. Built by Danelectro, this early-era U-1 captures the unmistakable sound and style of mid-century American budget electrics, delivering raw, jangly tone and stripped-down simplicity that helped define early rock and garage music.
This U-1 3011 offers the classic Danelectro voice—bright, slightly twangy single-coil tone with a loose, airy character and quick attack. It responds well to light picking and overdriven textures, making it a favorite for blues, surf, garage rock, and lo-fi recording tones.
The Black finish shows authentic vintage aging throughout, with natural wear that enhances its retro aesthetic and reflects decades of use. The instrument retains its original working character and remains a strong player-grade vintage piece.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes with its case.
Condition: 9.4/10 – Very Good. Typical aging on hardware and finish consistent with age. Heavy wear on the back of the neck finish. No major dings present. Overall clean, stable, and fully playable vintage example.
