2000s Danelectro (Korea) Mod 7 7-String Electric Guitar

How cool is this? A Danelectro 7-string? Korean-made? Excellent quality? Yes, yes, yes. I can clearly barely wrap my head around it in the standard (BEADGBE) tuning as heard in the video, but I can appreciate that it's a fun-as-heck guitar. I retuned it open for a while, though, and had stupid amounts of fun with the low grawrrrl it can achieve when it was speaking a language I use.

One thing that's not obvious is that the finish is "pearlescent" and color-changes to a cool blue-purple sparkle highlight as you move it around in the light.

This one has seen some mild use but looks, at a glance, almost new. There's a bit of playwear/usewear on the top around the controls but it's not easy to see at all unless the light is glaring on it just-so. This appears to be a guitar that's just been hanging on a store rack somewhere getting mild play now and then. The frets were so good I didn't even level and dress them which is a standard thing I do for most instruments coming through.

The configuration is "SSH" like on a hot Strat -- two single-coil lipstick pickups and then a humbucking one at the bridge. The odd bit about it is that it has a 6-position rotary switch for selecting them and then two additional switches. The upper switch engages a "blow" mode which adds all three pickups in series for a loud, fat, pushed-volume sound that will rip into an amp. It's a nice "quick lead" voice. The lower switch seems to be series/parallel switching for the bridge humbucker.

Post-setup and restring it's playing fast and easy, in-tune, and is all good to go.
