Dano are interesting that way: they do seem to have created a niche for themselves with something that does buck the overriding trend. I guess part of that is people wanting their unique sound, part of it the effect of photos of folks like Hendrix and Page wielding one...
One of my big regrets is that when I moved to London in 1999 and went looking for a new, budget guitar. I didn't originally want to bring over my US Fender as I started out in shared accommodation. Very quickly discovered just how limited the budget market was for left handers in those days (these days it's be Hellooo, Thomann...). When it came down to it, I could have had a Dano U2 for about £180, but ended up buying an Epi LP Std for much more. The Epi I still have - one of the later Korean models, very nice indeed, would be 'Epi Plus' stuff now. Thing is, I'm kinda over Les Pauls and humbuckers in general; I'd rather have that Dano these days. Ironically, the Dano would probably be worth more now too.
Dano are back doing short runs now; some really nice guitars, but very few lefties. I do love their aesthetic - there's something very scuzzy rockabilly - punk rock'n'roll about them.
