Syd Barrett, frontman of the early Pink Floyd, usually played this guitar before switching to a Fender Esquire.
Also Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin used this model of guitar on live performances in 1975 at Earl's Court and from 1979-80 for "Kashmir", "In My Time of Dying", "Black Mountain Side", and "White Summer".
When Eric Clapton was with Blind Faith he used this model with a psychedelic paint job.
Before he played bass and sang lead for Chicago (band), Peter Cetera bought a Danelectro to be his very first bass guitar in the early 1960s.
 More recently, Christopher Wolstenholme, bassist of Muse, has occasionally used one live on songs where he plays guitar, most notably on "Unintended".
In 1960, Jimi Hendrix's father bought him a copper single-pickup Silvertone Danelectro, named "Betty Jean" after Hendrix's high school girlfriend.
Soul singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas has been noted as using a Silvertone Danelectro both onstage and in the recording studio.
Dexter Romweber, former lead singer and guitarist for Flat Duo Jets, has primarily used the Silvertone 1448 model throughout his career.
In the 1990 music video for the song "Birdhouse in Your Soul", They Might Be Giants guitarist John Flansburgh is seen playing a Danelectro 59DC.
