Comments
In the "Just Got to Be" video, Dan is playing a vintage Silvertone U1
The '56 Dano reissues are U2 reissue (2 for the two pickups.) If you watch the video and pause it in places, you can see that it only has one pickup. This makes it a U1. You can also pause the video and find the Silvertone logo on the headstock.
