May 2013
5/31Winding Down the Merry Month of May with lots of great guitars and a few fine amps. Kick it off with a pair of 1429s; for the three years it was offered, Sears called it 'Our Finest Electric Guitar.'

The 'Japanese Invasion' of late 1968
brought many wild and funky designs to the Sears catalog. Here's
one of 'em, the slide-controlled 1461, the successor to the
somewhat differently spec'd 1460. Sears' customers apparently
voiced some concern over these new imports, as the catalog made
it a point to note that 'American Craftsmen' inspected these
guitars before you got 'em in your hands. That's why you'll
often find Harmony-style stampings in some of these axes.
1461
MIJ HBEG VG
$417 Clean, light wear, late-era block logo
strong with light cracking, some binding missing on back near NS
tailpiece
Note the differences in the 1460 and 1461; single vs.
segmented f-hole design, headstock shape, pickguard shape,
block marker design, truss rod/string holder action at
headstock, logo, tremolo system, selector switch location,
slide controls, no bridge cover, and... less $$$!

I Used To Think that there
was only one of these oddball white-knobbed Space-Dotted 1485s
in existence... but it looks as if Harmony tooled up for maybe
at least half a dozen of them after the 1485 was no longer
available in the Sears catalog... maybe the first to satisfy one
customer, then they built a few more maybe to clear out a few
special orders or use up the last of the parts bin. This is the
fourth one I've seen over the years.
1485
Harmony HBEG w/ C
VG $913
Clean, neck wear, finish wear on outer side of treble 'horn'
(apparently the player of this axe was a sitter), (1) knob
missing, Bigsby intact,
'Space Dot'
worn, NS truss rod cover, NS bridge, stamped S-69, serial #5430S1485
Another Harmony-built beauty, this late-50s 1352.

Let's Roll a Double... double
'Chris Isaaks,' that is! The first 1446 up is so lovely, I just
thought I'd slap it on the page in one big image. Bask in the
vintage glory!
1446
Harmony HBEG w/ C
E $1795
Clean, light wear, light checking, logo strong, Bigsby intact,
worn spot on bass side of bass f-hole
OK, I'm not gonna say this Bigsby-less 1446 is a
letdown... but... well, I don't know how to finish that
sentence.
1446

MOD <$749
Clean, light wear, logo worn nearly away, 'wall hanger' holes in

How about a Dano-flavored double dip with these two 1304 models?
1304
Dano SSEG VG $356 Needs a good
cleaning, edge/surface wear, some some checking, logo strong,
sidewalls yellowed, stamping indicates late 1961 build (making
this one one of the very last ones made)
1304
Dano SSEG VG $595 Clean,
edge/surface wear, some light dings to fretboard, logo worn
Relisted
Just got my 25th Anniversary copy of
"GREEN" the other day, so it's nice to see R.E.M.'s
guitarist Peter
Buck's favorite Silvertone amp up today. Despite the rusty
face and some electronic futziness, it went for a good chunk of
change.
1483
Dano tube amp and speaker cabinet
VG $550
Clean, some edge/corner wear, rust dots to control face, rust to
zformers and handle captures, channel 1 intermittent, cabinet
stamping indicates Summer 1965 build
If you've got a sunburst Silvertone archtop with binding
front and back, chances are it's a Kay-built 619. Sears sold
a boatload of 'em.

Kay FHAC w/ C G $104 Clean, light

Bargain price on this terrific 'Bobkat,' if you ask me...

light wear, 8" surface scratch on back, nick just below 'r' on
headstock, oxidation to neck screw ferrules, light rust to tuner
plates, logo strong, whammy bar present, dated October 1966
We saw one of these 1496 models yesterday with a
'Space Dot' Sears logo, here's one
with a block-type Silvertone logo!
1496 MIJ HBEG Bass VG $250 Clean, light wear, logo strong,
some binding damage, high action; 1" at 12th fret
5/22
It's Been a Rare Couple of Days... we've
seen some mighty nice Silvertonium up from the mines, and today
is no different. Let's start off with this fine lemony
'Newport'-derived electric Silvertone, that we've now been able
to determine is the model 1379. It never appeared in any
catalog, but did show up in some 1956 newspaper advertising, and
you can see the galley for the ad below.
1379
Harmony SBEG VG $710 Clean, some
wear, 'deco' logo strong, 'Harmo-Metal' looks good (pulling a
bit at neck), bridge split at bass side fastening screw, pickup
is not working, (3) NS screws in groove of bridge, hole drilled
in upper treble bout (probably for a strap button)
These mid-1940s Gretsch-built 714 models are always a rare
find, but this one's gonna need some major TLC to get it
back to strummin' shape! Seems a victim of poor storage
conditions; there's significant checking, and the pickguard
and guitar finish have reacted with one another, causing the
pickguard material to melt and run down the front.
714
Gretsch FHAC P $211 Finish
checking, pickguard broken and 'melted,' tailpiece broken, logo
inlay strong, some binding missing, 'D' tuner bent, (3) block
markers rising above fretboard level, back is surprisingly nice
Haven't seen a 'Thin Twin' in a while...
1381
Kay HBEG w/ OC G $1025 Clean,
some wear, flaking on back edge, pickguard design strong,
headstock laminate strong with chip on treble side, NS 'harp'
tailpiece, NS tuners, neck wear, wear/repair at jack, 12" of
binding missing on back edge near jack, re-wired in 2009
Most 'Beatle' basses that you come across are the 1495,
depicted in the catalogs with no control cavity cover, and
the pickup selector on the upper bass bout. This one below
is the rare 1496 variation, and the 'Space Dot' on the head
is a rare touch!
1496 MIJ HBEG Bass w/ OC E $329 Clean, minimal wear,
'Space Dot'
in good shape
1495 for comparison: you can see the relocated selector
switch and the (more expensive) 'guard-less' controls.
These guitars aren't terribly rare, but their sub-$200
price caught my eye! They're both early two-screw neck
attach versions of the 1448. "Larry" brought $178, and #2
(with ampcase!) brought in $187. Bargains, for sure, if in
need of a little TLC.
The guitar was modded with the addition of some mandolin
(1) tuners and toothpicks in the bridge
And, I'm not sure why, but this record of Cook's
Dreamland Orchestra doing
"Scissor Grinder Joe" and
"The Memphis Maybe Man" must be rare... brought in
238 bucks!
5/21
Just a Couple of Regular Joes...
they've been through it, but they're still standing. We've got a
couple of the 14XX
series today that have seen better days, but in the hands
of some caring Silvertonium purchasers, I imagine they'll get
the attention and acceptance they deserve.
1477
Harmony SBEG G $216 Needs a good
cleaning, shows some finish/body wear, logo strong, (1) knob
missing, whammy arm missing, chip in pickguard, rust to tuner
plates, untested
I'm not sure what was going on with this next one... the
bridge reworking and the two strings remaining make me think
it was possibly modified for lefty use... the original case
is in better shape that the guitar!
1478
Harmony w/ OC SBEG G $260 Needs a
good cleaning, shows some finish/body wear with some finish
flaking, whammy arm present, rust to pickup cover flanges,
scratchy pots, bridge slots enlarged
A little Bigsby action added to this 1429...
1429
Harmony w/ OC HBEG G $260 Clean,
some finish checking, logo in sad shape, NS bigsby
Looks Like a "Mad Men" Prop... if
it weren't for big the rip in the grille. I can totally see
Christina Hendricks opening the speakers up on this Limed Oak
Silvertone Syntronic Stereophonic HiFi Model 61, and setting a
stack of Jackie Gleason and Dean Martin LPs on this baby for a
cool evening of romantic music...
OK, lemme change the channel on that scene...
5/20
Confused... Sorta. When I
first glanced at this guitar, I was thinking that someone had
cobbled it together from parts, and stuck a Silvertone 'Crest'
medallion on it for fun. Then I looked a little harder, and
remembered the very primitive nature of the first 'Spanish
Electrics' that Sears offered; permanently attached cord... big,
honkin' pickups... and then it hit me! We saw the companion amp
to this extreeemely rare guitar last week, and now here's the
'Spanish Electric Guitar' that was sold with it in a package
deal back in the early 40s. The guitar itself is unusual, with a
thinner f-hole profile that we usually see in Kay- or Harmony-
sourced Silvertones, and an unusual white-edged pickguard (that
is itself of a completely unique-to-any-Silvertone design). That
said, National (before they became Valco in 1942) built a lot of
guitars, and the electronics in this are certainly of that
lineage. Valcopages
says "The archtop bodies for National guitars were
sourced from Regal and then from Kay, but the electronics were
developed and manufactured by National-Dobro." So, we'll
accept that and enjoy this very rare, unique Silvertone 'Crest'
that sold the other day. For a song.

VG $380 Clean, light wear, light
oxidation to metal, logo medallion clean, slight neck lift at
heel, original cord attached, tuning keys deteriorated
A couple of vintage Sears catalog ads for the Crest
setup; the first from 1941, and the second with our lap
steel-playing friend from 1943.
Something very interesting came
to light while I was researching the origins
of the 'Crest' above... the possible origin of the 'Aristocrat'
name! As you probably know, the big-bodied, f-holed Kay-made
Silvertone
electrics and
acoustics of the mid '50s are often referred to in auctions,
guitar blogs and other webmedia as 'Aristocrats.' For
years, I've tried to find the source
of this nickname; it never appeared in in Sears or Kay
literature, and I've been at a loss to figure where the name came
from. Until now... look below, and you'll see a wide-bodied
archtop from National, with a Kay-built body, fancy fret markers
and tailpiece, nicely bound edges...
and the name... Aristocrat!
From
Valcopages:
And a 1953 CMI Retail Price List:
From
The Official Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide 2010:
Also interesting are the touches that the
'Aristocrat' shares with the much earlier 'Crest:' the thin,
elongated f-holes, the white-edged pickguard, and a very similar
headstock shape. As I've said before, Silvertone World is a real
world, with discoveries yet to be made, and it continues to reveal
its secrets!

Coming Soon To A Music Store Near You!
In case you hadn't heard, the Samick
Music Corporation is resurrecting the classic logo and the
classic guitars of yesteryear with a brand
new line of vintage-style Silvertones! First out of the
gate are these reissues of the 1478
and a grayburst reimagining of the 'U2' body style 1303
Both reissue strummers apparently also to be available in
classic. My buddy Tony at Samick/Silvertone assures me we should
be able to lay our hands on 'em some time this month!
Check this beautiful 1478 reissue, with a real Bigsby,
dual single-coil pickups and the classic Silhouette/Bobkat
lines of the 1400
series:
And how about this cool 1303
reissue, with a compensated string-thru bridge, lipstick
pickups and the classic narrower lines of the so-called
'peanut' or 'C' body shape? Sweet!
Here's a fine 1956 vintage 1359 that brought somewhere

Super-Duper Bonus Grab Bag! That's
what we've got today; our haul of Silvertonium runs the gamut
from ukes to amps to electric to acoustic to even a couple of
cool radios that I thought you might enjoy. Dig in!
Interesting... this double cutaway is tagged on the headstock as
a 1454 (and probably stamped internally as one, as well), but
the model number given this double cutaway is the 1485. It's
enjoying some 'heat' these days as one of the many guitars that
Black Keys axeman Dan Auerbach employs.

"All transmitters to full... all receivers to

thought I'd share.
I just love this late-30s vintage mini-radio; great design,
super cool elongated font,
RED
knobs, and oh, so small! Look how tightly packed those tubes
are! Sold for $330!
'Matched Twin Speakers' on this cool pink-encased AM radio.
Model number label is gone, but the seller claims late 50s
vintage. If true, this is certainly the earliest appearance of
the 'Space Dot.' Brought $130.
Available from Sears
for just $12.95 in 1938 and '39, this radio was advertised
as "designed for modern people living in a modern
world." The model 6110 was also available in walnut brown and
ivory 'plaskon,' and
the
design of this 'Machine Age' radio is PATENTED! This one went
for a whopping $845!

I Don't Usually Do This... but
this amp is so amazing, I feel it needs a wider, appreciative
audience. It's one of the very first Silvertone amps ever
offered; so early in the game that it's not even branded
'Silvertone.' It's in simply jaw-dropping shape for a
70+-year-old amp, too. Check it out, and
grab it if you got six Benjamins burnin' a hole in your
pocket. As you can see in the vintage catalog listing
below, this amp was made available with the very first electric
archtop from Sears, a kludgy affair with a standard acoustic
F-hole married to a Valco pickup. Note the cord snaking out
through a hole on the bass side lower bout.

It Now at $599 Clean, minimal wear, seller says "The caps in both the power supply and coupling have
been replaced. The glass is new (I can send the glass that was
originally in there when I purchased it) and a 3 prong
plug/power cord has been added for safety. Let the
photos do the talking, but please feel free to ask
questions. She is exceptionally clean, just that very
slight tear on the bottom corner featured in the photo. With
respect to full disclosure, there is a bit of intermittent
scratchiness that I can not trace. All sales final due
to vintage of this piece."

Let's Start off May with a terrific "Me and
My Silvertone," and a little history
lesson. We've got a great shot of some Army Air Force
personnel in the winter of 1942 relaxin' with a Harmony-built
'Lone Ranger' guitar. These men were part of an installation on
the west coast of the United States near Yachats,
Oregon. Known as
Cape Perpetua, the location was used during World War II as
an observation site and radar station for the detection of enemy
submarines and aircraft, and a large coastal defense gun was
temporarily installed. The
catalog illustration is from the 1938 Sears catalog.
And of course, it's Link Wray's Birthday
today! With his seminal, made-up-on-the-spot,
banned for its corrupting influence (yeah, right) on youth,
speaker-rattlin' rockin' anthemic 'Rumble,'
Wray invented the power chord, and rocked audiences until
his death in 2005. Here's a dramatic shot of Wray with his
Dano 'Guitarlin,' and an American Bandstand clip of Wray and
the Raymen rockin' (well, pretending to) some 'Rawhide.'
“If
I could go back in time and see any band, it would be Link
Wray and the Raymen.” – Neil Young
