Silvertone amp in case model 1448 vintage made in USA Danelectro Americana Starting in the mid-50s, many guitars bearing the Silvertone brand name were produced by Danelectro. Silvertone was the in-house brand of Sears and were marketed as starter instruments. The 1448 included a single pickup guitar with an amplifier built right into the case. Later, Silvertone distributed a two-pickup version with a louder amp as the 1449. Having the amp case intact with the guitar is very important for collectors. Years of Production: 1962 - 1968 Body Style: Double cutaway solidbody Design Elements: Single lipstick pickup, dot inlays, volume and tone control, six-on-a-side headstock Amp Features: Two power tubes, one tube rectifier, five-inch speaker, gain control Notable Silvertone Players: Beck, Mick Jagger, Jack White Guitar and amp is in good shape, a few nicks here and there but nothing serious. The amp has not been grounded so it has a little hum, an easy fix but I chose to leave it all original. It’s a real blast from the past and these are getting to be collector’s items. Guitar plays good with 1/8 inch action at the 12th
