The fretboard is rosewood and shows no signs of wear. More importantly, the 'tape' that runs along the entire outside of the body is completely intact. This is a typical vintage guitar cosmetically-the pics tell it all, but nothing really major. Otherwise, all of the features of the original '59 are replicated on this DC-2 (lipstick pickups, stacked volume/tone knobs, coke bottle headstock, etc.). The fourth digit is the last digit of the production year (which means it is duplicated every ten years). The third digit is a mystery (batch code or designator). The later reissues started using Gotoh tuners. I can't explain the uniqueness of these tuner covers except by speculating that the Korean factory made some during the latter years of the 1st reissue, when the bridge also changed from the wood bridge, which had a tendency to collapse, with the stock reissue Danelectro bridge on this DC-2. 10 years ago bgp: Danelectro serial numbers are coded the first 4 digits 0200 the first 2 digits are the week of the year it was made (01-52). The tuner covers have an interesting shape, but are not the 'D' type. There are several notable features of the DC-2 being offered. The NOS refers to current production using NOS lipstick pickups and the MOD refers to changing the wood bridge to the Bad Ass (bad choice). I think that this is because many subsequent reissues that were Made in China and then back to Made in Korea in 2014 started using 'DC '59 NOS MOD' and other names. There are very few examples on-line where the DC-2 designation is used. At that time, the designation for the 1st reissue of the original 1959 Danelectro double cutaway model was DC-2.

This is of course an iconic guitar linked to Jimmy Page.
