PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTS:  '63 Silvertone 2 pickup guitar and amp-in-case set in excellent condition. Model #1457. Made by Danelectro for Sears and Roebuck. This is the more desirable 2 lipstick pickup model, with an amp in the case that features tremelo as well as volume and tone. As seen in the following photos, this outfit is in really clean condition. Everything is stock and works flawlessly. The all-tube amp sounds great and is virtually free of any hum. Features original Silvertone tubes and stock Jensen speaker. Of course those lipstick pickups put out that fabulous tone. The guitar itself has hardly any scratches or dings to report; suggesting that it has seen little use. Neck is straight and feels excellent. Frets are nice and the instrument has just been restrung. Guitar also features stacked volume and tone controls for each pickup as well as a 3-way pickup selector. The case is very clean and shows minor wear only on the corners. One of the nicer all-original outfits you'll see.
