You need to hit the road. You need to stay home. What could be better to have with you then an affordable vintage Silvertone guitar that plugs into a matching amp built into the guitar case. Is that not the coolest things ever conceived? Ok, that’s taking it a bit far but it’s right up there in the quirky guitar world of the 60’s!
This is a Silvertone Model 1448 Guitar and Amp Combo. One of the most clever and well-known concepts in the early ’60s guitar boom was the Silvertone Amp-in-case line. For well under $100, you could get a guitar that came in a case featuring a 5-watt tube amp built right in. Just open the case halfway, stand it up, switch it on, and wail.
This Silvertone guitar from the ’60s has a great offset body, stylish headstock, and of course a classic Silvertone lipstick pickup, which gives you a brighter articulation than regular single-coil pickups. This decades old classic is in rock solid condition and ready to rock. The guitar has been fully set up, and plays beautifully, giving you a classic sound and tone.
The amp works fine (a rare find for these). Does it give you the power of a full Marshall stack? No, but that’s not why you’re lookingat this! The amp actually sounds surprisingly good and provides the opportunity to have an all-encompassing package!
