Danelelectro Silvertone 1448.

Tuggyt sent in this beautiful shot of his prized Danelectro, saying “I got this on eBay really cheaply but was beyond satisfied when it came in the mail. I mostly got it because it’s the same guitar that Beck and Dexter Romweber use and I love the sounds they get out of it.”

Silvertone Revolver.

Here’s a nicely understated Silvertone Revolver with a handmade woven strap sent in by Thebaystater. It’s got a reputation as a beginner bass, but it’s surprisingly usable beyond that and carries quite a punch.

Silvertone and Harmony Archtops.

These twin axes of awesome have been sent in by Jeremiahhatfieldmusic who says the “One on the left is my 40s-50s Silvertone. I’m not sure of the year as I can’t find it online yet, so help would be awesome. The second is my 1956 (I think) Hollywood Harmony. I found both at two different pawn shops for $80 and $200 respectively. The sound for both are pretty amazing! I have since used both on several recordings and it gives that great old school sound!”

Silvertone 1446.

Now here’s the very definition of Guitar Porn sent in by Unknown-brother of the band ‘Dad Brother’;

“Here’s my vintage Silvertone 1446 “Chris Isaak” model. These were made by Harmony and sold from 1962-1967 under the Silvertone brand name as a Bigsby-equipped alternative to the Espanada model.  The pickups are mini-humbuckers made by Gibson (one of the only Harmony/Silvertone guitars to feature Gibson pickups).  It sounds gorgeous and plays beautifully.  I went to the store with cash to buy a Gretsch and walked out with this.  It is 100% original and plays like a dream with tons of mojo.  I even left the hula-girl sticker on the headstock that the previous owner placed there!  In this picture, it leans against a Twin Reverb reissue.  A match made in heaven.

The Silvertone has become my one and only gigging guitar with my band Dad Brother.  Come to a show in NJ/NY and see it in action!”

1950’s Silvertone/Kay 1425 Archtop.

Made by Kay for Sears under the name Silvertone. Not to be confused with the Silvertone guitars made for Sears by Danelectro. Or the Silvertone guitars made for Sears by Hagstrom. Or the ones made by National. Or…
