Silvertone · electric guitar
Silvertone was Sears' house brand for musical instruments through much of the mid-20th century, selling affordable guitars through mail-order catalogs and retail stores to a generation of players who couldn't afford a Fender or Gibson, and the Model 1457 from this mid-1960s window represents that democratized approach to getting a first electric guitar into players' hands. Many Silvertones from this era were manufactured by established makers like Danelectro under contract, giving budget-priced instruments surprisingly distinctive construction and tone despite their low original cost. These guitars have since gained a cult following among collectors and players drawn to their quirky, characterful build quality relative to their historically low price point.
