I'm not sure it was the Danelectro. It was the black one he played on the Whistle Test Rock Around the Clock when they played The Game and Lips Like Sugar, can't recall what it was called now.

Thats not a Danelectro-they make vintage 60's guitars-I have the surf baritione.It was a Bond Electraglide
From Wiki
The Bond Electraglide was a carbon fiber electric guitar manufactured by Bond Guitars between 1984 and 1985. It resembled a matte-black, 3-pickup Gibson Melody Maker (although with the 1962 onwards double cut-away), with a unique stepped aluminum fingerboard (anodized black) instead of traditional frets. Pickup switching, volume and tone controls were completely digital, powered by a large internal motherboard.
The player selected pickups via five pushbuttons; volume, treble and bass were incremented numerically via digital rocker switches, confirmed by a three-colour LED readout.
The guitar required an external power supply pack and given the state of engineering at the time, was relatively bulky; it never really caught on in the marketplace and only about 1400 units were ever manufactured. [1]
British guitarist Mick Jones is known to have used a Bond Electraglide with his band Big Audio Dynamite in the mid 1980s. The Edge used his extensively on The Joshua Tree, including the solo on "One Tree Hill", as well as on "Exit," and "Mothers of the Disappeared".[2] Will Sergeant, John Turnbull, and Dave Stewart were also Electraglide users.
Bond Guitars was set up by Andrew Bond (d. 1999) in Muir of Ord, Scotland, in 1984. The company ceased trading in 1986.
My comment now:lol
No metal frets but raised at points on the neck.Never caught on.Went for around £350 I seem to remember on ebay .I looked but worked on the fact that if it was going at that price from the Sarge,it was probably shit .

You be right Mr Smith. Seems though that the Sarge's one didn't have the Bond logo in red on top of the headstock thingy or it might be the angle. Anyways...
