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.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or players:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Will you see the players well bestowed? Do you hear, let them
be well used, for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
