Old Silvertone Guitars4/13/2021
And the amp electronics have to be housed in some sort of a cabinet.I know Lets combine the case and the amp electronics: Amp-in-case guitars.
The primary certain folk was the brains behind probably the first amp-in-case guitar and the iconic version seen here, Mr. Nate (or Nat) Daniel, namesake of the Danelectro company. We are taking PRE-ORDERS now. This design is based around the early 60s Silvertone Jupiter H49 which was also available with the Airline brand. A lot of my early knowledge about guitars (and lingerie) came out of those wish books. One piece of that knowledge, however, wasnt about this Sears Silvertone because when it was made in 1965, Sears only sold Japanese-made guitars through its retail store outlets, not through its catalogs. ![]() My sister bought me a Stella to learn on, and I saved up enough to buy my own Silvertone guitar and the Twin 12 amp. Hed said one of the truly fun things he dug about motorcycle riding was tripping out your bike with custom touches that made it your own. This led into talk about custom guitars and some of his favorite custom shots people had sent in to him with their modified Eastwoods and Airlines. He sent me a couple of cool pictures at one point of wild things people had done to their guitars, and it got me thinking about a long-neglected project of mine with an old SilvertoneDanelectro. Old Silvertone Guitars Mods I DoMost of the mods I do are on ampsand they tend to be unseen, unless you look under the hoodbut here was a guitar job that would be obvious to anyone who saw it. Old ones, new ones, new ones made to look like old ones (not those stupid relic-ed ones, thoughIm an idiot, but Im not stupid). Yet, as I look at the keepers in my collection, Ive only kept one guitar with more than four knobs, and none with more than two pickups. This aint a hand carved arch-top by one of the DWhoevers in New York, or a prototype KOA wood, only ever seen by Ted McCarty and the 33rd-level Masons who know the secret Skull Bones handshake and Vulcan death grips, after all. And likewise, probably no single company furnished more of the guitars and amps for young musicians than the Sears Roebuck Company. While most of us would rather have started out with the Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Hofner, Vox and Ludwig gear we saw the Fab Four using, due to price and availability, it was the Sears catalog that supplied our first six-string.
