I'm a life long musician. I began playing music as a teenager, still active now in my 70s. I've had the opportunity to play different styles of music, learning from musicians who shared their knowledge. I've played Epiphone, Hagstrom Fender, Gibson, Vox instruments. The Longhorn is my first Danelectro product of which I'm very satisfied by it's ease of playability, tone range and light weight construction
