Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting..
A really cool 1960’s Silvertone 1450 Guitar. At first I thought this was one of the amp in case guitars. I was corrected by a Silvertone expert that said this guitar was offered in 1965 in the Sears Wish Book. Its very RARE!!… This one is in extremely good shape.
Only some finish coming off on the lower back..see pic 9..I am selling this one
with a Brand new Silvertone Branded Gigbag..check those pics!
Be sure to check out our Video Demo of this awesome vintage guitar!
The guitar plays great with an awesome Pro Setup with low easy to play action. The
Danelectro Lipstick Pickups sound large and in charge. They are very strong.
The guitar has very little wear on it except on the lower back..see pics. The Silvertone
logo is just as bright on the Headstock as the day it was on the Sears Sales
Floor…
Here is some info on these cool guitar outfits from a respected Website…
The 1450 guitar was
the predecessor (and then 'invisible sibling') to the ampincase 1452
axe, but it had some distinct differences that separate it from the very last
two-pickup Danelectro-built Silvertone guitar made. A four-ply faux tortoise pickguard, no model
stamping on the back of the headstock, and no chrome bezel rings around the
pickups. Also, the 1450 sported several neck attach arrangements; going from a
two-screw, to a staggered three, and finally to the triangular plate-fitted
three-screw attach that these end-of-the-Dano-line guitars (along with the
1451) were spec'd with.
Catalog Introduction:
Wish Book 1965
Still available well into 1967 according to Sears ads of that year.
Often mis-identified as a 1452 without its ampcase, the 1450 was a rare
bird, only 'officially' listed in one Sears catalog, but we're also
fortunate to have a seasonal newspaper ad from late 1967. That
one ad lets us surmise a much longer 'life' than previously believed.
The frets are hardly used on this guitar. It will give you years of
playing pleasure. All original and setup to play right out of the box. You
will love this cool 1960’s Silvertone Guitar!
Sold as-is as it is both vintage and used but…I have been hand picking vintage
guitars for my customers for over 16 years now. They have all loved their
instruments I find. This cool guitar and amp will not be an exception. The
lucky buyer is to pay fixed shipping of $38 for the lower 48. All others please
ask.
Thanks for checking out my cool instruments and gear here on Reverb.com
