Additional Listing Info:

This listing is for one (1) Silvertone Model 1457 with Amp (in Case) (1964-1967) - **AS-IS** and is in very good condition considering its age. Everything is original, from the amp case to the guitar itself. There is no ground plug and plug looks like it was previously worked on. (i.e. electrical tape, etc.) The guitar is small scale and what they call a "Stubby". Amp powers up fine and functions properly. The guitar comes through, but seems to have some kind of ground problem, maybe with the cable repair. This guitar is NOT new. Its over 60 years old, amp included, so it is not perfect, it's vintage, so repairs are to be eventually expected. **AS-IS**
