Silvertone World - Amplifiers - 1960s - Model 1452

The 1452 guitar was the two-pickup sibling to the 1451, the last Dano-made Silvertone 6-strings. The companion amplifier was nearly identical to the 1457/1449, with tone, volume, strength and speed for the footswitch operated tremolo. The differences were a re-located 8-inch speaker, and no more grille 'beauty frame.' Sad days for the Silvertone/Dano team, as the MIJ guitars took over in the F/W '68 catalog.

Introduced: Spring/Summer 1966 at $109.95 as the 57 B 1452L

Retired: Spring/Summer 1968 at $109.95 as the 57 K 1452L

The final Silvertone amp-in-case models were the 145X series, of which the 1452 guitar is the two-pickup model. The amp spec was similar to the 1449/1452 'best' spec, but never again would you be able to purchase an all-in-one rock and roll kit like this one.
