Notable Players
Syd Barrett from the early Pink Floyd usually played this guitar before switching to a Fender Esquire, and also Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin used this model of guitar on live performances of "Kashmir", "In My Time of Dying", "Black Mountain Side", and "White Summer". When Eric Clapton was with Blind Faith he used this model with a psychedelic paint job. More recently Christopher Wolstenholme, bassist of Muse, has used one live when he occasionally plays guitar, most notably on Unintended. In 1960, Jimi Hendrix's father bought Hendrix a copper single-pickup Silvertone Danelectro, who named it "Betty Jean" after his high school girlfriend. Soul singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas has been noted as using a Silvertone Danelectro both onstage and in the recording studio.
