The Danelectro Amp-In-Case, properly known as a semi-hollow body due to its Masonite top and back, with pine outer structure.
It was sold for US$67.95 (equivalent to approximately $685 in 2023[1]), sometimes including a 45 rpm how-to-play record, as part of Sears Silvertone.
Eventually the semi-hollow guitar models were replaced with solid-body design similar to Danelectro's Dane line.
[5] From 1999 to 2002, Evets Corp. also marketed an "Amp-in-Bag" gig bag accessory for its line of Danelectro retro-design reissue guitars.
The Amp-in-case amplifier has been redesigned and reissued in an amp head form by Fritz Brothers Guitars in Mendocino County, California.
"[9] A bassist and a music journalist from Poland, Adam Pawlowski, noticed that the unmodified Dano '63 Baritone equipped with Ernie Ball 2837 strings' set is nothing else than the famous Danelectro's six-string bass tuned E-E, one octave below the guitar.
Famous musicians such as Mac Demarco, Beck, Cat Power, Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear, Jeremy Earl of Woods, Cody Blanchard (of Shannon and The Clams), and Dexter Romweber (of Flat Duo Jets and the Dex Romweber Duo), have made use of the Amp-in-case model live on stage, and Dave Grohl and Sammy Hagar both owned one as children.
