"Thrill to the sound of our 60s 'tone-a-delic' guitar. The Mod combines the best of both worlds… the drive and power of a humbucker with the sweetness and richness of two 'Lipsticks'. Exclusive Select-O Matic switching plus coil tap switch provides eleven distinct tone variations. Like owning eleven monster guitars. Sleek new body style in retro period colors. Dump all your other axes, and your girlfriend. Get a Mod." (2000 Danelectro catalog).
