This is a more-recent Danelectro Convertible, made in Korea, and it's fitted not only with a magnetic lipstick-style soundhole pickup but also with an internal, passive, piezo "acoustic" pickup. The latter doesn't sound good on its own (I guess it's a sound) but when the two are blended halfway (via the 3rd-knob "blender" pot) it adds a lot to the vibe and sounds great. I like.
It's completely stock except for the bridge, which is a parts-bin old German ABR-style bridge that I fit to the guitar because the original (rosewood) one was missing. It's also in good, clean shape with only very light signs of use. I'd call it "shopworn" except that I replaced the bridge! I gave it a fresh setup and adjustments and it's good to go, strung with 46w-10 strings with an unwound G. For those wanting to get more acoustic sound out of it (it's not really worth trying that, but hey?), 50w-11 with a wound G might be a better bet.
