any one have the schematics to the amp case i need to rewire it any suggestions.......
BTW
I have the U2 danelectro and the silvertone (as shown in the video Very nice playing guitars and the sound is great very rich tone especially plugged into my hotrod deville
I don't see why people bitch so much about Silvertone. I own one of their basses, and other than the volume pot being defective, which was literally a $5 fix, it's a pretty good bass, and they used to make some really awesome guitars, with a really different sound than anything else out on the market.
@Socioistic I have a hand me down Silvertone classical guitar from my dad that has to be from the late 70's early 80's and have had no problems with it of ANY sort. I mess around on it many times a week and haven't changed the strings in maybe 10 months :P.. tone sounds great even considering my horrible string neglect and she stays in tune beautifully.
Sounds awesome. I really like their old 70's stuff, and I wish they would go back to making it. Their stuff these days are kind of rip-offs, and unoriginal, but the quality is okay for the price. I really think they could make a lot of money if they start making "tribute", or "relic" series of their original stuff.
Joe Perry also has one in his collection. I played my first around '66. I have one now that I bought about 10 years ago from Rick's Guitars in Raynham, MA. Still one of my favorites!
i'm purchasing the 63 reissue, i played a couple of dano's in the shop, they're amazing, one day i hope to own one of these case amps, they're brilliant haha.
WOW! i found this for $80 yesterday at a pawn shop. It sounds sooo good! The case shows some wear and tear, but the guitar is nice and clean! only the neck has wear, which makes play like a dream. Yours looks like it is in very nice condition. MIne is all original except the tuners.
Shes a beauty...and sounds great......I remember being too poor for Fender guitars or amps and Silvertones was a struggle too....initially made do with my 63 Guild my uncle gave me after he got it at a pawn shop in Bakersfield... I noticed after while that everyones solid body didn't sound as good so I learnt something important.... Quality isn't always the popular choice....
@crpdst2003 you have learned the secret to the guitar, every good guitar was unkown at one time, dont judge a guitar by the name on the headstock, unless it says First Act, lol.
MASONITE. That's what they made guitars out of, not wood, masonite. Masonite, for those who afren't familiar with it, it's comparable to particle board, pressed together from paper fibers. This is the stuff that veneered fake wood cheapo entertainment center thing in granny's living room is made out of. I can't believe Cheshire music actually felt that they were showing me up by saying "this guitar is NOT PLY! IT"S MASONITE!" That just goes to show how ignorant you can be and still open a store.
There is no Pete Townshad you retard. His last name was Townsend, not Townshad. If you have never experienced a drunken mosh pit, then you obviously have no experience in the way of live music, and this entire conversation has consisted of make-believe on your part. And of course you will call me gay, because there were men at a concert where my band was the headliner, and that MUST mean they are all gay too. Gee, why would men go to a concert to see bands that have men in them, unless they are?
If you are all "waiting" to see me playing my asswood in my bedroom with hannah montana posters on the wall, why don't you go ahead and do this little thing called a search, type in "government officials, stop the rain". The video quality is poor, so you unfortunately won't get to see clearly what I think of plywood guitars, but if you watch the whole video to the end, you will get the idea. You people inspired me, so I went and "borrowed" a silvertone strat copy, and played it at a gig. Watch!
wow! Bro, you rock. I guess you showed us. the cinematography was stunning. i was captivated from the first frame. the underexposure represents the duality of man. i get it. I guess I'd be embarrassed to show my face too. The Silvertone only improved that anthem, right on. great tone. I love the Pete townshad bit at the end, but you should rename the song "who'll stop the Pain". But, you're getting it, dude. Try listening to Queens of the Stonehedge for some pointers.
That's the best you can come up with? The cinematography? Obviously, if I was on the stage with a guitar on my back and a mic in my face and a drunken pit full of people surrounding me, chances are it wasn't me running the camera. Then of course you consider that it wasn't even my profile that posted the video. And by the way, who the hell is "Pete Townshad"? So when are you gonna put up YOUR live performance? All I see is your stupid self-indulgent verge of columbine nerd profile, no guitar?
The Silvertone was on your back? You are good dude. I don't get the drunken pit bull...what ever turns you on, I go for the ladies myself. I don't think that was a mic in your face, it was dark so I guess you have an excuse. Glad you can dig the Columbine stuff, at least we have some common ground. Pete Townshad? the guitarist for the Who you idiot. He was the original punk.
You are a fucking idiot. You have no sense at all about anything, and yet you think you know everything. I dislike dealing with stupid people in general, but the idiot who thinks he is smarter than you, well he is the worst kind. If I ever met you, I would cut you within seconds. You would be quite shocked, you don't have any idea who's who on the internet. Keep being stupid, but don't ever try to act this way anywhere but the internet. Trust me, you will get the same response from anyone.
So are you smarter than me? That would make you worse than me. But if you are worse than me and I'm an idiot, what are you? So are you more than an idiot who dislikes dealing with yourself? I can dig it. I don't like to respond to idiots either. There are a lot out there. Glad we are on the same page dude. Hey which suicity are you? the original or the wantabes?
The first two sentences of that comment make no sense at all. Smarter = worse? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Whatever man.
Anyway, your lack of attention proves your lack of intelligence. I am not a member of Suiciety, that's why my videos say "The Government Officials" followed by a song title, rather than "Suiciety" followed by a title. How you missed that, I can't imagine, but it really doesn't matter. If you are ever in CT, look for a Government Officials show, and come in and introduce yourself. See ya.
By the way, for those of you who are saying to yourselves "haha, it ain't ply after all, it's MASONITE" you should go look up what masonite is. It's a baby step up from cardboard, and if you are referring to the guitars that Danelectro built for sears for sale under the silvertone name, the masonite was in fact used as the body material on a pine-ply frame. Not solid pine, but pine plywood. If you think that's great tonewood, then YOU go ahead and spend a grand on it, while I pay my rent.
Kid do your self a favor and shut the hell up and take your Cookies and Milk and go home. Jesus you sound like a Stupid little kid, according to your picture you look like it too. Do you know what a body Bag is kid.. Mosh Pit come here kid I'll give ya a mosh pit. Jesus kid your irratating us specially me so take a powder.
Fiosty Mia Ho to Mo Tro zol Tez. Do you want to get Whacked..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God you're dumb. Yes, you will see the name "silvertone" in the hands of many great guitarists, but not the fucking plywood beginner guitars you fucking idiot! Just like you will see a Vox logo on the stage behind Brian May, so do you think that brian may plays a DA-5? You see Marshall behind Kerry King, but he ain't playin' no Mg50DFX! Besides, I know what is crap, and plywood guitars are crap, regardless of what celebrity is paid to get a picture taken with them. You are a typical groupie.
when garage band started out, back then, there really was no squier or epi, so they had to use the cheap sears guitars made of ply. However, that's a starter guitar, and these days they use things like paulownia and basswood and agathis, almost as cheap as ply, but much better sounding. No plywood guitar will ever resonate or sustain like a guitar should, no matter who has a picture taken holding it, no matter what pickups are on it, or what pedals you use.. Amp'in'case=3" speaker. Vintage tone?
Gee, you sure write a lot about the same thing, over and over. I finally got it. When you were younger, your dad caught you with your dick stuck in the output jack of his Silvertone and now you're trying to work out your anger. PTSD. Bad Silvertone, bad girl. Hey, how's your band "pedophliecity" coming? Maybe you should take your paulowiener and asswood guitars and make a video to showcase your excellent sustain. Im still waiting. we all are.
"government officials stop the rain". That's all. You aren't "waiting", you are just sitting on your ass. Go search for the video of stop the rain, and see what I think of your plywood guitars. You stupid fuckers actually inspired me. Thanks. There's an old silvertone strat copy with your name on it, just search for the video you jackass.
ahh punkeratheart. we just logged in today to find your vulgar uneducated posts. im unimpressed.
your ignorance is showing.
#1- please google "jimmy page silvertone". you might learn something.
#2- these guitars are not "plywood". they are actually hollow and were constructed with "masonite" and pine center blocks. they are very resonant. thats why all the greats used them. (without modifications)
Masonite? Even better. What ever happened to WOOD? Ya know, the stuff that GROWS ON TREES! That's why all the greats used them. That's wonderful, another groupie. Hey, do you think Dimebag Darrel REALLY used exclusively Randall solid state amps? "ALL THE GREATS" is a pretty lofty claim, especially when these Sears guitars were the ones that students would settle for when their parents were broke, or just didn't have faith that they'd stick with this guitars thing. I have googled quite enough.
@CHESHIREMUSIC A couple sloppy parts but that could get my pedal to duh metal. Hell, J.Page plays far more slop. Record about 2 hours of that to get me to Vegas and clear that road.
@dirtycoffee22 Oh god, don't you people get it? You are responding to shit that is 8 months old! I am being pulled back in time! If you were going to refute my statement (opinion, but I do have the right to it) you should have done so 8 months ago, when this was even on my mind. I went through all this already, I am done. I can't convince people that masonite isn't a toneful material, and it doesn't upset me much, because that's just more wood for me. Let it die already. 8 MONTHS!!!! 8!!!
What makes you think I am upset? It's not like I am doing a recording session with you, play on whatever you want. It affects your tone, not mine. No one's making ME play a chip-board guitar, and there's things in my life that actually matter right now, so I don't really care about YT tonewood debates. Either way, agathis is my big thing now, and it's cheap, so I have a few agathis guitars that were 100-200 + 50-60 in GFS pickups, they play and sound great. Play masonite if it makes you happy.
Kid Shut the Hell up you (Stupid Stupid) little Goverment Offical punk kid..
You sound like some stupid 18 year Pampered Bratt they needs his ass kicked.
Kid you weren't even born when these Guitars were around.. Shut your Yap take your Cookies & Milk and Go home kid.. This is a great way to get Whacked.
@7211098 Yeah, you go on the net and talk about whacking someone, real convincing. Get the hell off my email, you're just NOW replying to some shit that went on between me and some douche 8 months ago. 8 fucking months. Now I get replies from some username I have never even seen? What the fuck is this? YOU are a fucking troll, leave me alone, I am not playing your game. Stay the fuck off my back. Get myself whacked, you are a fucking moron. Get a life.
@punkeratheart Actually you will see major players playing cheap modeled vintage gear... Examples: Jack White's Kay (not the airline, I mean his beat up Kay). He plays through one of the nicer Silvertones the 1485 however it is still particle board. Jimmy Page played a cheap Silvertone, and George Harrison even played some crazy poorly made Russian guitar for a little bit. I even witnessed Jared Followill recording with a bass that literally had a nail holding one of the tuning pegs in place.
@punkeratheart I may also mention Brian May got most of his studio tones from a modified cheap practice amp. Kurt Cobain played a variety of cheap guitars before using mustangs and designing the jagstang. OH... BEST EXAMPLE YET!!!!! Johnny Greenwood plays his dirty tones through a Fender 85... Which are cheap practice amps you can buy for less than 200 bucks. You really need to do some research before flaming people.
@speakercoilmusic What has that got to do with me? Yes, it is true, many famous people have used these guitars. In fact, some consider them 'magical'. I have played gigs with cheap guitars, but that still doesn't have anything to do with what I said or the fact that I said it EIGHT MONTHS AGO! I was commenting on wood, I don't care who uses what, I hear and feel the difference between wood and composites, I'm a musician, not a collector, who played what is inconsequential to me. I like MY sound.
@punkeratheart It applies to you, because you said that the cheaper models of silvertone's or of cheaper amps would not be found in the hands of great guitar players. I was just correcting that statement. Especially after calling someone a fucking idiot for thinking that. I am a musician and not a collector as well, however to me no guitar is better than another. It all depends on the song/tone desired. Like with microphones, sometimes a SM57 will beat out a U47 on certain applications.
@punkeratheart Oh, and btw... The majority of luthiers agree that the major factor in tone is the pickups and not the wood. Wood does add nuances to the tone, but the majority of the tone comes from the pickups. Woods will just accent that tone and maybe add a little sustain or tweak the high/low frequencies a bit. Now if you are talking acoustics... Yes, the wood makes all the difference.
@DrivenBlues No, they didn't change my mind about anything. My own experience has made my mind up. I will give you one thing, you can build a guitar out of just about anything and have it sound fine for rockabilly and some surf, but even then, the same hardware and electronics on wood will sound noticeably better. Do some A/B experimenting. I have even built pine cabinets to the same dimensions as plywood marshall cabs, switched the speakers, and enjoyed big improvement. Wood makes a difference.
@punkeratheart Dex from the Flat Duo Jets plays one of these in like every recording he does and his tone is one of the rawest and ballsiest i've heard.
And by the way, I have written songs for about 15 years. IN SYNC. Yeah, you do covers of cool bands like godsmack. I just cover my own thoughts. That means I can never be as cool as you. I just can't bring myself to sing a song that is all about how someone else feels, whether that someone is 'cool' or 'insinc'. Makes no difference to me, and it shouldn't to you. But vanity (like ignorance) is rampant, and I wouldn't expect you to be any kind of exception. Go figure, you're the rule.
Allright buddy, why dont you talk to Jeff Beck, Cat Power, Syd Barret (pink floyd), George Harrison, Mick Jagger and ask them what they think about these guitars. They all play or played them.
Jimmi Page played silvertone guitars, the plywood crap youre talking about...
Yep, weird. Don't know how old you are, but I am a grown man, my girlfriend is a grown woman, and I look at young chicks who choose to go on youtube and shake their asses in bikinis. If you have a problem with it, then don't subscribe to my favorites. I love watching young botties shake, and young perky tits bounce, and if you have an aversion to these things, then you are gay. Only a homo would think "gee, she's underage, so I can't LOOK AT HER"????????? You're a fucking winner. You got it all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You fucking jack asses. You mock the fact that I got a solid wood mod platform for 99 bucks new, and spent another 50 on mods, and now have something better than what you paid 500 bucks for. Fine, I'll throw some cash in a stormdrain. Then can I be cool? If you idiots spent half the time playing that you spend worrying about "vibe", you may have your own sound by now. After July 12th, search youtube for suiciety, and see me playing a PRS in my bedroom you fucking retards. Brilliant people.
I cant wait for you to come out of your closet. it will be difficult to tell your mother you're gay but well worth it. How did you mod your Laguna? Hello Kitty or Miley Cyrus stickers? I'll be looking for your "band" Juicshity.
what can we expect to hear?
n-sync covers?
your own introspective version of the power rangers theme? Or are more of a "back door man" by the Doors? if you know what I mean.
Well I guess I better hurry up and unlearn everything I've ever known, so I can be some stupid rich kid like you. Only then can I be so lucky as to play a plywood guitar through a cereal bowl sized speaker in a chipboard guitar case. I have made music since you were on your mother's tit. You spend all your time coveting novelties like plywood from the stone age, and you look down on me? Gosh, I'm awfully hurt. I'll keep making my sound, and you can go find some vintage decorations for the garage
You made my point for me. Indeed, my $99 guitar didn't increase in value, and used ones can be had for 50. I like that, because I am not rich. The fact that plywood guitars are steadily increasing in value is EXACTLY the idiotic phenomenon I was trying to point out. Beauty is in the EYE of the beholder, at least when it comes to a virtually unplayable guitar with the tone of a tin can being seen as such a masterpiece. These things run 10 times what I paid for a better sounding and playing guitar
And yes, collectors are all over these, but how about the value of a vintage strat? Why, it's made of solid wood, and gee, the neck is too! Vintage amps! I actually have one! Does that make me a hypocrite? Nope. I play through my ampeg jet every single day. It is so much more than just an old relic that has a novelty value. It has TONE! It is PTP wired, with a 12" Jensen, and it sounds better than anythi ng around today for less than 2K. And yes, also better than your chipboard case.
Ok, Page is famous for the tone of his plywood. Sure. And yeah, I compared this to my bullet strat. My point (which you were too stupid to get) was that a solid wood cheap guitar sounds better than the dano ply, which costs twice as much. You fucking retards can pay out the ass for "vintage" crap, I will take my silly little solid wood, play through my stupid 12" celestions, and spend the rest of the money on food and rent. Jimmy Page. I suppose he plays through the amp in a case? At Wembley?
Ahh, plywood. Great tone from plywood, and sweet sustain too. Sustain like a banjo. Sustain like a cowbell. Cheapo guitars (as they were back then) served there purpose. People learned on them, like they do now on starcasters. But the only purpose these plywood axes have today is nostalgia. Same with a tube amp built in a case, with a 4 or 5 inch speaker. Regardless of the amp, a 5" speaker isn't going to sound good. It's collectible, like the starcaster will be in 2040.
By the way, the amp sounds good for "what it is". What it is, it's a starter kit amp mounted in a case for convenience. The tubes make it touch sensitive and give it the 'warm' quality that makes us all love tube amps, but the sound is still that of a 5" speaker. It sounds better than a solid state amp with a 5" speaker. It does not sound better than a well built solid state amp with a 12" weber. That thing was never meant to get as much attention as it does now. It's a wall hanger, not more.
Nobody comes in their shorts over TODAYS plywood guitars. But the dano, oh it's "vintage". Come on people, the passing of time doesn't turn a brittle pile of scrap ply in to a masterpiece. Lipsticks sound good, but they sound even better on a piece of solid wood. And a tube amp with a 5 inch speaker is still going to sound like crap. A 5" speaker is not enough for a good guitar tone. God. Puke.
have you ever played these guitars? man, you dont know anything, dont comment if you havent tried out these sweet guitars. As for the amp, what are you comparing it to? its an amp built into the case, it sounds good for what it is.
Uh, gee, sure got me there. Oh wait, yeah I have played these guitars. In fact, my father owned one. I am comparing it too everything from my solid basswood bullet strat to my solid lousiana swamp ash laguna. I am comparing it to my Jay Turser strat copy. I am comparing it to other guitars from the same era that also had nice pickups, but were made of solid wood. The ply guitar with amp in case was a bottom of the line starter kit, now collectible. It's nostalgia, not tone. Listen to it dummy!
OMG, you have a Bullet strat, Jay Turser, Laguna? My God, these are the holy grail of guitars. These are the guitars that rock gods like Green Bay and Travis Tit uses. Please post vid's of you rocking the house. I could only hope to own a bullet strat some day, and dear God maybe a....dare I say "Laguna" with a solid asswood body. Oh, I just got it...you can't play guitar, and you're, only 12 years old. The Dano has more vibe a then you'll ever muster playing covers of Jonas Brothers.
i love almost everything about this guitar, it sounds great it looks great...but i HATE the strap buttons, they are too close to the neck and i couldnt fit any of my straps on it. Overall i love this guitar though! 5 stars
Sounds great! I think that many people complain about the tuning of this guitar because they use the wrong strings. With 11s or 12s this guitar sounds TERRIFIC! And it's one of the funniest guitars to play.
Replacement tuners. A good idea. Next to moisture, the tuners were the weakest link. Great for roller-skates, not so good for staying in tune. (How many out there get the RolleSkate reference?)
I bought this exact one from cheshire music about 4 months ago after seeing the video. It is in mint condition and all original. The tuners are the originals and this type are only seen on the very early ones during the first year of production. They are much better than the skate tuners that came on after. Once set up right, it has perfect, literally perfect, intonation and it stays in tune for ever. its alot of fun for blues and slide stuff too.
@ravenslaves I learned to skate with the metal wheeled attach to your shoes with leather straps and pot metal buckles type of skates. So yea I get it. I still have my 1965 Silvertone 1457 amp in case that I bought nearly 40 years ago. I just picked up a silvertone 1449 amp in case. My first guitar way back in the sixties was an acoustic silvertone. I still have(I hope haven't checked my storage in awhile) 2 Danelectro Vibrovox Special amps and more. Love Dano.s/Silvertones.
This is good I guess.... for amateurs. My setup? An ibanez mikro gio guitar with a crate blue voodoo, although god knows the signal has to survive the battering that my 12 straight danelectro pedals put on it, before going into my behringer wah, and finally slipping into the cold death embrace of the crate.
I have the same setup, great condition from 1964, I'll never sell it, my amp inside the case works fine but I hardly ever use it, Sounds great through my Twin Reverb or Lab Series L5.
Funny thing is it took 40 years for people to really appreciate how cool and special these guitars are
That tone is really nice. I like it. Pretty guitar too

I am not a member of Suiciety, that's why my videos say "The Government Officials" followed by a song title, rather than "Suiciety" followed by a title. How you missed that, I can't imagine, but it really doesn't matter. If you are ever in CT, look for a Government Officials show, and come in and introduce yourself. See ya.

By the way, for those of you who are saying to yourselves "haha, it ain't ply after all, it's MASONITE" you should go look up what masonite is. It's a baby step up from cardboard, and if you are referring to the guitars that Danelectro built for sears for sale under the silvertone name, the masonite was in fact used as the body material on a pine-ply frame. Not solid pine, but pine plywood. If you think that's great tonewood, then YOU go ahead and spend a grand on it, while I pay my rent.

God you're dumb. Yes, you will see the name "silvertone" in the hands of many great guitarists, but not the fucking plywood beginner guitars you fucking idiot! Just like you will see a Vox logo on the stage behind Brian May, so do you think that brian may plays a DA-5? You see Marshall behind Kerry King, but he ain't playin' no Mg50DFX! Besides, I know what is crap, and plywood guitars are crap, regardless of what celebrity is paid to get a picture taken with them. You are a typical groupie.
punkeratheart 2 years ago
yeah, actually they did play the plywood guitars...
why dont you do some research. sears wasnt exactly into making custom guitars for rockstars.
This amp in case guitar is Jeff Becks main guitar, and was Cat Powers Main guitar. Syd Barret used it alot too. you OBVIOUSLY havent played one.
Anton041687 2 years ago
when garage band started out, back then, there really was no squier or epi, so they had to use the cheap sears guitars made of ply. However, that's a starter guitar, and these days they use things like paulownia and basswood and agathis, almost as cheap as ply, but much better sounding. No plywood guitar will ever resonate or sustain like a guitar should, no matter who has a picture taken holding it, no matter what pickups are on it, or what pedals you use.. Amp'in'case=3" speaker. Vintage tone?
punkeratheart 2 years ago
Gee, you sure write a lot about the same thing, over and over. I finally got it. When you were younger, your dad caught you with your dick stuck in the output jack of his Silvertone and now you're trying to work out your anger. PTSD. Bad Silvertone, bad girl. Hey, how's your band "pedophliecity" coming? Maybe you should take your paulowiener and asswood guitars and make a video to showcase your excellent sustain. Im still waiting. we all are.

"government officials stop the rain". That's all. You aren't "waiting", you are just sitting on your ass. Go search for the video of stop the rain, and see what I think of your plywood guitars. You stupid fuckers actually inspired me. Thanks. There's an old silvertone strat copy with your name on it, just search for the video you jackass.

ahh punkeratheart. we just logged in today to find your vulgar uneducated posts. im unimpressed.
your ignorance is showing.
#1- please google "jimmy page silvertone". you might learn something.
#2- these guitars are not "plywood". they are actually hollow and were constructed with "masonite" and pine center blocks. they are very resonant. thats why all the greats used them. (without modifications)
CHESHIREMUSIC 2 years ago 13
Masonite? Even better. What ever happened to WOOD? Ya know, the stuff that GROWS ON TREES! That's why all the greats used them. That's wonderful, another groupie. Hey, do you think Dimebag Darrel REALLY used exclusively Randall solid state amps? "ALL THE GREATS" is a pretty lofty claim, especially when these Sears guitars were the ones that students would settle for when their parents were broke, or just didn't have faith that they'd stick with this guitars thing. I have googled quite enough.

@punkeratheart i love how upset this makes you. MASONITE IS GREAT!
dirtycoffee22 1 year ago
What makes you think I am upset? It's not like I am doing a recording session with you, play on whatever you want. It affects your tone, not mine. No one's making ME play a chip-board guitar, and there's things in my life that actually matter right now, so I don't really care about YT tonewood debates. Either way, agathis is my big thing now, and it's cheap, so I have a few agathis guitars that were 100-200 + 50-60 in GFS pickups, they play and sound great. Play masonite if it makes you happy.

@punkeratheart Actually you will see major players playing cheap modeled vintage gear... Examples: Jack White's Kay (not the airline, I mean his beat up Kay). He plays through one of the nicer Silvertones the 1485 however it is still particle board. Jimmy Page played a cheap Silvertone, and George Harrison even played some crazy poorly made Russian guitar for a little bit. I even witnessed Jared Followill recording with a bass that literally had a nail holding one of the tuning pegs in place.
speakercoilmusic 1 year ago
@punkeratheart I may also mention Brian May got most of his studio tones from a modified cheap practice amp. Kurt Cobain played a variety of cheap guitars before using mustangs and designing the jagstang. OH... BEST EXAMPLE YET!!!!! Johnny Greenwood plays his dirty tones through a Fender 85... Which are cheap practice amps you can buy for less than 200 bucks. You really need to do some research before flaming people.
speakercoilmusic 1 year ago
@speakercoilmusic What has that got to do with me? Yes, it is true, many famous people have used these guitars. In fact, some consider them 'magical'. I have played gigs with cheap guitars, but that still doesn't have anything to do with what I said or the fact that I said it EIGHT MONTHS AGO! I was commenting on wood, I don't care who uses what, I hear and feel the difference between wood and composites, I'm a musician, not a collector, who played what is inconsequential to me. I like MY sound.
punkeratheart 1 year ago
@punkeratheart It applies to you, because you said that the cheaper models of silvertone's or of cheaper amps would not be found in the hands of great guitar players. I was just correcting that statement. Especially after calling someone a fucking idiot for thinking that. I am a musician and not a collector as well, however to me no guitar is better than another. It all depends on the song/tone desired. Like with microphones, sometimes a SM57 will beat out a U47 on certain applications.
speakercoilmusic 1 year ago
@punkeratheart Oh, and btw... The majority of luthiers agree that the major factor in tone is the pickups and not the wood. Wood does add nuances to the tone, but the majority of the tone comes from the pickups. Woods will just accent that tone and maybe add a little sustain or tweak the high/low frequencies a bit. Now if you are talking acoustics... Yes, the wood makes all the difference.

@punkeratheart all I got to say is look up "The Flat Duo Jets" your mind will change
DrivenBlues 1 year ago
@DrivenBlues No, they didn't change my mind about anything. My own experience has made my mind up. I will give you one thing, you can build a guitar out of just about anything and have it sound fine for rockabilly and some surf, but even then, the same hardware and electronics on wood will sound noticeably better. Do some A/B experimenting. I have even built pine cabinets to the same dimensions as plywood marshall cabs, switched the speakers, and enjoyed big improvement. Wood makes a difference.

@punkeratheart Dex from the Flat Duo Jets plays one of these in like every recording he does and his tone is one of the rawest and ballsiest i've heard.

And by the way, I have written songs for about 15 years. IN SYNC. Yeah, you do covers of cool bands like godsmack. I just cover my own thoughts. That means I can never be as cool as you. I just can't bring myself to sing a song that is all about how someone else feels, whether that someone is 'cool' or 'insinc'. Makes no difference to me, and it shouldn't to you. But vanity (like ignorance) is rampant, and I wouldn't expect you to be any kind of exception. Go figure, you're the rule.

You spend all your time coveting novelties like plywood from the stone age, and you look down on me? Gosh, I'm awfully hurt. I'll keep making my sound, and you can go find some vintage decorations for the garage
punkeratheart 2 years ago
beauty is in the ear of the beholder.
as for a "playable" guitar, these rate pretty low.
on a collectible scale they are only increasing in value. next year they will be 600$.
i would be surprised if your 99$ guitar increased in value at all.
different strokes for different folks.
thats the beauty of it.
CHESHIREMUSIC 2 years ago 4
You made my point for me. Indeed, my $99 guitar didn't increase in value, and used ones can be had for 50. I like that, because I am not rich. The fact that plywood guitars are steadily increasing in value is EXACTLY the idiotic phenomenon I was trying to point out. Beauty is in the EYE of the beholder, at least when it comes to a virtually unplayable guitar with the tone of a tin can being seen as such a masterpiece. These things run 10 times what I paid for a better sounding and playing guitar
punkeratheart 2 years ago
And yes, collectors are all over these, but how about the value of a vintage strat? Why, it's made of solid wood, and gee, the neck is too! Vintage amps! I actually have one! Does that make me a hypocrite? Nope. I play through my ampeg jet every single day. It is so much more than just an old relic that has a novelty value. It has TONE! It is PTP wired, with a 12" Jensen, and it sounds better than anythi ng around today for less than 2K. And yes, also better than your chipboard case.

Ok, Page is famous for the tone of his plywood. Sure. And yeah, I compared this to my bullet strat. My point (which you were too stupid to get) was that a solid wood cheap guitar sounds better than the dano ply, which costs twice as much. You fucking retards can pay out the ass for "vintage" crap, I will take my silly little solid wood, play through my stupid 12" celestions, and spend the rest of the money on food and rent. Jimmy Page. I suppose he plays through the amp in a case? At Wembley?
punkeratheart 2 years ago
Ahh, plywood. Great tone from plywood, and sweet sustain too. Sustain like a banjo. Sustain like a cowbell. Cheapo guitars (as they were back then) served there purpose. People learned on them, like they do now on starcasters. But the only purpose these plywood axes have today is nostalgia. Same with a tube amp built in a case, with a 4 or 5 inch speaker. Regardless of the amp, a 5" speaker isn't going to sound good. It's collectible, like the starcaster will be in 2040.
punkeratheart 2 years ago
By the way, the amp sounds good for "what it is". What it is, it's a starter kit amp mounted in a case for convenience. The tubes make it touch sensitive and give it the 'warm' quality that makes us all love tube amps, but the sound is still that of a 5" speaker. It sounds better than a solid state amp with a 5" speaker. It does not sound better than a well built solid state amp with a 12" weber. That thing was never meant to get as much attention as it does now. It's a wall hanger, not more.
punkeratheart 2 years ago
Nobody comes in their shorts over TODAYS plywood guitars. But the dano, oh it's "vintage". Come on people, the passing of time doesn't turn a brittle pile of scrap ply in to a masterpiece. Lipsticks sound good, but they sound even better on a piece of solid wood. And a tube amp with a 5 inch speaker is still going to sound like crap. A 5" speaker is not enough for a good guitar tone. God. Puke.
punkeratheart 2 years ago
have you ever played these guitars? man, you dont know anything, dont comment if you havent tried out these sweet guitars. As for the amp, what are you comparing it to? its an amp built into the case, it sounds good for what it is.
Anton041687 2 years ago
Uh, gee, sure got me there. Oh wait, yeah I have played these guitars. In fact, my father owned one. I am comparing it too everything from my solid basswood bullet strat to my solid lousiana swamp ash laguna. I am comparing it to my Jay Turser strat copy. I am comparing it to other guitars from the same era that also had nice pickups, but were made of solid wood. The ply guitar with amp in case was a bottom of the line starter kit, now collectible. It's nostalgia, not tone. Listen to it dummy!
punkeratheart 2 years ago
OMG, you have a Bullet strat, Jay Turser, Laguna? My God, these are the holy grail of guitars. These are the guitars that rock gods like Green Bay and Travis Tit uses. Please post vid's of you rocking the house. I could only hope to own a bullet strat some day, and dear God maybe a....dare I say "Laguna" with a solid asswood body. Oh, I just got it...you can't play guitar, and you're, only 12 years old. The Dano has more vibe a then you'll ever muster playing covers of Jonas Brothers.

I bought this exact one from cheshire music about 4 months ago after seeing the video. It is in mint condition and all original. The tuners are the originals and this type are only seen on the very early ones during the first year of production. They are much better than the skate tuners that came on after. Once set up right, it has perfect, literally perfect, intonation and it stays in tune for ever. its alot of fun for blues and slide stuff too.
