About This Listing

Here's an original 1960s Silvertone Model 1457 Amp in Case.

This is the deluxe double pickup model with tone and tremolo controls in the amplifier section that is part of the case!

Guitar plays real nice with a good straight neck and no buzz or issues. Original lipstick pickups are nice and warm and full of vintage tone.

Amp sounds killer!

Guitar is all original, the speaker inside the amp in case has been replaced.

Product Overview
Starting in the mid-'50s, most guitars bearing the Silvertone brand name were produced by Danelectro. Silvertone was the in-house brand of Sears and was marketed to beginner guitarists. In 1964, Silvertone distributed a two-pickup version of the earlier amp-in-case model as the 1457 (there was also a short-lived model 1449 with a different pickguard and finish). While the guitar was sold with an amp-in-case, many have survived without the amp intact. Having the amp case intact with the guitar is important for collectors.
