Silvertone Model 1457 Amp-In-Case Model Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar and Amplifier Set, made by Danelectro (1965), made in Neptune, NJ, red/black sunburst with sparkles finish, Masonite and pine body, poplar neck with rosewood fingerboard, masonite case, original black hard shell case.
This is the classic Danelectro-made Silvertone 1960's guitar, sold through Sears and the original equipment for thousands of teen combos in the mid-1960's. The double cutaway asymmetrical body has sharp curling "horns", a white Masonite pickguard, two great-sounding Dan-O lipstick pickups controlled by concentric control tone/volume pots, and the traditional Dan-O chrome plate bridge with rosewood saddle. The neck is topped with a Silvertone logo "paddle" headstock with skate key-style tuners. The amp/case combination is actually surprisingly good-sounding, with a great tremolo. This is a very nice example of these great sounding and playing little guitars, a complete set that remains one of the best bargains in an American made vintage guitar still going.
Overall length is 37 1/2 in. (95.2 cm.), 13 in. (33 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 5/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 3/4 in. (654 mm.). Width of nut is 1 in. (25 mm.). All original set, guitar is very clean except for some paint chips on the headstock edges and a few on the body. The amp case shows some edge wear and the covering is a bit dirty in places-it is complete including the trem pedal and original cord, and sounds great! One of the nicer examples of this classic garage band combo we have had. Excellent Condition.
