Vintage Dano Caster Carmine Street Guitars Rick Kelly Very Nice
This vintage Dano-caster from Carmine Street Guitars, crafted by the renowned Rick Kelly, is a one-of-a-kind tribute to the raw, soulful spirit of New York City’s music scene. Built with Kelly’s signature artistry, the guitar combines a classic Tele-style body with distinctive lipstick tube pickups that echo the unmistakable Dano tone—gritty, jangly, and rich with character.

It’s more than an instrument—it’s a living piece of musical history with tone as honest as the city it was born in.Rick Kelly is known for using reclaimed wood from iconic New York buildings, and while this particular model leans more into the Dano-caster aesthetic, it still carries the ethos of Kelly’s craftsmanship: sustainability, storytelling, and soul. The hand-wired electronics and uniquely voiced pickups deliver a punchy, articulate sound that’s ideal for roots rock,
