This is John HIatt's Silvertone 1487.  It was owned and played by the legendary songwriter and it was beaten to an absolute pulp by the man. 

I bought it at the auction and then did a near full restoration of it.  Now it plays great, everything is stable and it sounds great.  The only thing I didn't get to was fixing the built in speaker which is probably just a solder.  
 
But it is an amazing guitar with an amazing lineage and amazing gold foil to channel your inner Ry Cooder.
