Up for sale, a 1964 Silvertone model 1457 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Crafted in the USA by Danelectro for the Sears-exclusive Silvertone line, this top-tier “Amp-in-Case” guitar was only produced from late 1964 to ‘66, featuring a pair of lipstick single coil pickups, a 25“ scale length, and a Red Sunburst sparkle finish.
The body is crafted from Danelectro’s pairing of a Masonite top and back over a poplar frame and centerblock, resulting in a bold, barking natural acoustic quality, featherweight at 6lbs 4oz. The pickups deliver Danelectro jangle and sparkle, with chiming trebles and a focused, bubbly bass response. This 1457 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
