The 1449 amp-in-case was the first attempt to carry the genius of Joe Fisher's all-in-one idea into the two pickup world. I believe he 1449 vanished so quickly because it was too similar to the 1448 in color and design. This amp-in-case remains the rarest of the breed, ast he better amp/two p/u guitar team would become the 1457, the guitar would get a redburst paint job and a slightly different pickguard, and the 1449 had vanished from Sears catalogs by early 1964.
