    Thinks £199 is a good price? How about £99.99?!

Pros

Small in size but big in groovy, distinctive sound. Easy to play - fretting is a breeze.
Cons

None that we can think of.
Verdict

The Dano '63 would be a great buy at twice the price, but at £199 (UK) or $299 (US) list? Forget about it. Done. This is a guitar any player should own. Chances are, you'll play it often.
