Description

Step back in time with the Sears Silvertone Danelectro, a quintessential piece of musical history that's as captivating in sound as it is in design. Crafted in the early '60s, this electric guitar brings a vintage flair to any collection with its iconic masonite over pine body and signature single coil lipstick tube-style pickup. The guitar is engineered for easy playability, featuring a short scale length of 23.5 inches and a bolt-on poplar neck with a smooth Brazilian rosewood fretboard.

Despite its age, the Silvertone Danelectro remains a reliable companion for musicians across genres, from rock and roll to soul. Its clear, clean tone and warm, punchy bridge pickup sound make it an adaptable instrument for varied musical styles. The fixed four-way adjustable chromed brass bridge, paired with a Brazilian rosewood saddle, ensures precise intonation and tuning stability, while the in-line scoop headstock and closed back chrome tuners add to its durable construction.

Whether you're a collector or an active musician, this guitar invites you to explore its timeless sound and nostalgic aesthetics. It offers a unique blend of rarity and functionality, making it a beloved choice for those who appreciate vintage gear with a story to tell.

This was my first electric guitar and the guitar I started gigging with. I have used it a number of times in the studio when I needed a raw bluesy sound. One example is “Where is Paco” from Victor Bailey’s “That’s Right” CD.
