1961 Gibson Les Paul Custom w/ Magic Dingus Box

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd195/grooveyrecords/lespaul.jpg

Probably the most famous of Danny's guitars. A black triple-pickup with custom pinstriping and pickup configuration selection (wired by Danny himself). Stock PAF pickups. An added bridge plate held the Magic Dingus box (the original box shown here) that controlled several effects units, including a Leslie speaker cabinet.

Certificate of Authenticity.

The ORIGINAL Magic Dingus Box and Effects

Here is a piece of history, predating MIDI for multiple effects control. Pictured from top of photo to bottom: Echoplex tape, Magic Dingus Box and cable, Echoplex, MXR EQ. The Magic Dingus Box also controlled the speeds of the rotating horn in a Leslie speaker cabinet (not pictured). When not in use, the Magic Dingus Box is stored in this specially built box that houses what you see here. The box is vented, and has a small plaque on the front engraved
"D W GATTON".

Designed by Danny and his dad, Danny Sr.
