Acme Revival is an independent repair network that operates separately from the manufacturers whose devices we service. Our independence enables a repair model that exists beyond manufacturer-controlled strategies, while preserving the ability to work with manufacturers where appropriate.
Evets Corporation is a privately held musical-instrument products company best known as the owner/operator of the Danelectro and Snark brands. Evets revived the Danelectro name in the late 1990s and markets guitars, basses, effects pedals, amplifiers, pickups and related accessories, while its Snark business focuses heavily on electronic and clip-on musical-instrument tuners. Its trademark portfolio confirms products spanning guitars, basses, effects pedals, amplifiers, tuners, metronomes, strings, picks and other musical-instrument accessories. Justia Trademarks Evets is particularly associated with Danelectro's retro-styled guitars and distinctive lipstick pickups, along with Snark's widely sold clip-on tuners; industry coverage describes Snark as a category leader in budget tuner design and manufacture.
The metal bridge plate on many Danelectro guitar and bass models can bow downward in the center under sustained string tension. This can produce uneven action, fret buzz, poor setup geometry, and difficulty maintaining correct intonation.
Traditional Danelectro rosewood-saddle and other non-individually-adjustable bridge designs can prevent individual strings from being intonated accurately. The problem is particularly noticeable on some 12-string models, where paired strings may require substantially different saddle positions.
Stock tuning machines on some Danelectro reissues can loosen, slip, become imprecise, or suffer broken tuner keys. The result can range from difficulty making fine tuning adjustments to an inability to hold pitch reliably.
Aluminum and other factory nuts can develop or arrive with poorly cut slots or insufficient string break angle. Typical symptoms include open-string buzzing, rattling, tuning instability, and strings binding or creeping at the nut.
Pickup selector and rotary switches can develop oxidized, intermittent, or failed contacts. Affected instruments may lose one or more pickup positions, cut out intermittently, or only produce sound in a single switch position.
Output jacks can loosen mechanically and stress or break their solder connections. This typically causes intermittent output, crackling, signal loss, or complete loss of audio.
On some reissues, bridge mounting holes in relatively soft body material can enlarge or become oval with use and string tension. The bridge can consequently shift position, compromise scale length and intonation, or become inadequately secured.
Bridge deformation, setup geometry, nut problems, neck relief, or uneven string height can leave individual strings significantly lower than neighboring strings. The resulting fret buzz may affect only particular strings or frets and can sometimes be audible through amplification.
Danelectro's dual-concentric volume and tone controls can develop ineffective, intermittent, or abnormal control behavior as pots and associated wiring age or fail. Symptoms include tone controls having little effect, abrupt changes instead of a smooth sweep, or inconsistent volume and tone response.
