- 1963 Silvertone 1457 In Los Angeles Area For $250
Here is a seller listing a black Silvertone/Danelectro 1457 for only $250 - that is a great deal. I just sold my Red 1457 (which was also a '63) for $400 and I thought that was a great deal (so did the buyer) and mine was in pretty rough shape with...
- Silvertone Danelectro 1457 Guitar W Amp-in-case In Columbia Mo For $400
The seller had this listed as a Silvertone 1487 but I contacted him and he said it is a 1457 with amp-in-case. That is the better model with the 6VGT amp w Tremolo and the guitar has 2 lipstick pickups - a much better player than the 1448. I'ts...

- Silvertone 1457 In Seattle - Rebuilt For $200
Sounds like this 1457 was prbably a basket case - repaired headstock and non-original lipstick pickups by GFS - but you still get a "mostly vintage" 1963 Dano for only $200. At least this one has the real SIlvertone "hatchet" headstock not the new reissue...

Silvertone 1457
guitarz.blogspot.com
This Silvertone 1457 is a classic amongst the classic vintage guitars, but for some reasons we never had the chance to show one on Guitarz. As you can't fail noticing, this Silvertone model was actually built by Danelectro and shares the typical Dan'o features - masonite body, lipstick pickups and above all a boldly pop design - one of their bests, all in curves and claws! And I love the headstock, even though it's technically absurd!
Another characteristic of the 1457 - shortly released in the mid-1960s - was to be sold together with an amplifier case - something than never took but was a nice gadget for beginning guitarists at the time. Silvertone was the instrument line of mail-order catalogs Sears and Roebuck, and had their guitars made by Harmony, Kay and Danelectro; the 1457 package with the 'Amp-in-a-Case' has been very popular, and was even sold with a a guitar playing method on a 45rpm record!
