The 'Peanut'
bodied
13XX series was yet another step in the evolution of Dano-built electric
guitars. Nat Daniel and his design team had been refining the shape and
features of these guitars since 1954, and the changes didn't stop with this
model. From here on out, a wider body, different knobs, some different headstocks, some
electrical specs and other features changed subtly over the rest of the life of these
guitars, right on until 1962.

Fall/Winter 1957
The 1317/19 and 1321/23 guitars were the last of the narrow-bodied 'C'
or 'peanut' body guitars Dano built for Sears. Two inches narrower than the 'U'
shapes that would come after them, they also introduced the final evolution of
the 'Coke bottle' headstock.
