Being an independent individual, Nathan Daniel chose to establish his own business, marking the beginning of the history of Danelectro Guitars in 1947, instead of working solely for other companies. Initially, he focused on producing amplifiers for a distributor, but the following year, he secured a contract to exclusively supply guitar amplifiers for a specific customer.
In 1954, Daniel expanded his business by manufacturing Silverstone solid body guitars. Alongside this new range, he continued to produce goods under the Danelectro label as well. These two product lines had their own distinct characteristics. The Silverstone guitars featured a dark maroon plastic, while the Danelectro guitars were covered in white tweed. Both models incorporated one or two pickups concealed beneath a baked melamine pickguard. The wiring configuration differed from the usual parallel wiring and provided a stronger tone when both pickups were used together.
In 1956, the now-popular Dano contents were introduced, resulting in several changes to the production of these instruments. Features that were previously hidden under pickguards were now revealed for all to see, becoming a defining characteristic of many early Danelectro models.
When Nathan Daniel sold his company in 1966, he chose to continue working for … ...Read the rest.

The lead guitar is a crucial element in a band, often responsible for guitar solos, instrumental fill passages, and melody lines within a song. The lead guitarist is the featured player, frequently performing double-stops or single-note-based lines.
In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz, fusion, certain pop, and other music genres, the lead guitar is commonly supported by another guitarist who plays rhythm guitar. The rhythm guitar involves playing accompanying chords and riffs, often with distortion effects.
The terms “lead guitar” and “rhythm guitar” simply refer to different playing styles within a band and are not specific to particular types of guitars. In a band with multiple guitars, there is typically a noticeable distinction between the lead and rhythm guitars, although the line can sometimes be blurred. Some guitarists may play together as a tandem, exchanging lead and rhythm parts, while others may share both lead and rhythm roles throughout a performance.
Additionally, multiple guitarists playing different notes can create chord patterns and harmonies, combining these with various effects to produce unique and impactful sounds. Lead guitarists contribute solo runs to songs and often use the structure provided by the rhythm guitarist as a foundation … ...Read the rest.
