Silvertone model 1457 Model Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar and Amplifier Set, c. 1965, made in Neptune, NJ, red/black sunburst with sparkles finish, masonite and pine body, poplar neck with rosewood fingerboard, 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 and garage bands 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 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/4 in. (44 mm.). This is a nicely original set; with both pieces very well preserved. The guitar is an excellent player, completely unmodified and very clean except for some very small paint chips on the headstock edges and a couple on the body. The amp case is newly serviced works very well; it shows some very light wear to the covering but is quite nice overall-we did replace the 1960's ungrounded cord with a 3-prong (the original is included) and the original trem pedal been replaced by a somewhat more substantial round-housing model. One of the nicer examples of this classic garage band combo we have had, includes the original instrument cord (with plastic mounting bracket) the amplifier instructions and the original shipping label from Danelectro to Sears!. Excellent Condition.
