[NintendoSinceBirth1]

[DrakrSlyr]

[PaoloLegnetti]

Does it come with the shorts?

[MunkhjinE]

Flat Duo Jets!!!!!!!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@MunkhjinE hell yeah!

[Jellyshark1]

i just got my dads silvertone and was trying to find out what year and model it was. thanks to your video now i know! thank you for the vid andgreat picking brotha rock on.

[quer94]

Your bends = godlike

[AlexMantiev]

between 800 & 1500 on ebay depending on shape and condition of amp-case.

[AlexMantiev]

I think you can find one on ebay for 800-1000 with amp-case.

[micmoable]

How much can onelike that be bought? Wonder what it's worth?

[micmoable]

how much would one of those be worth? Where can folks find those?

[micmoable]

A fellow I know has one of these and thinks its worth 2000 bucks---I told him it wasn't but he won't be convinced---some people! Hey, you really picked that Silvertone good!

[XFattMonsterX]

I found a 1448 yesterday at a pawn shop for $80. What a steal! Great tone and plays very well. I couldnt believe how loud it is and what great shape the guitar and amp- are in. The case has some wear, but it is all original, except for the tuners

[leethalinjekshun]

@XFattMonsterX amazing find dude

[yellowvespa04]

@Gschnok yes, and more notably the 1448.

[AlexMantiev]

yes....the amp in my model needs work though

[shelbyied]

that is awesome!! I have the same one and my amp/case is fully functional. It was my grand dads in the 60's. I love it.

[MrArcadeguy]

Nice guitar and awesome sound!!! My first electric guitar was a black with silver sparkle Silvertone / Danelectro #1448 single pickup hollow body with the amp-in-case that my dad got me for $50.00 back in 1984 when I turned 12. I ended up trading it straight up for a Hagstrom Super Swede about a year later, but I sure wish I still had it now!! I really like the sound your getting as well. It is very reminiscent of that old 50's and 60's blues.

:)

Keep rocking and Happy Strumming! :)

[Gschnok]

Is that the model that came with the built-in amp into the guitar case?

[AlexManteiv]

Yes, except mine does not work. Will rebuild it some day. These guitars sound great & professional through Fender tube amps.

[terrafirma91]

AlexManteiv: Absolutely sweet sounding for a budget, department store guitar. In fact, it has a sound unique enough to be used in professional recording, or even live gigs. Wasn't D'Armond contracted to make the pickups for these?

[AlexMantiev]

I'm not sure who made them but they sound great. Use a good Fender tube amp I always say.

These guitars are nice & light. The guitarist from the Conan late show uses this guitar on TV and many have used for live big time gigs. George Harrsion from the Beatles has recorded with the one pickup model.

[terrafirma91]

AlexMantiev: I believe they were contracted out to Danelectro for manufacture. The one in this video sounds mega-sweet! It has it's own sound, not as a Fender, not as a Gobson, but a nice, sweet, and clean tone all it's own. I don't believe any other low budget guitar sold in a department store had this quality. I recall I played one that my buddy had years ago in school. It sort of looked like a Les Paul, black w/ gold sparkly flakes, w/ 2 pickups, and a 3 position selector switch.

[UnderWearNinjas]

cool

im gtting 1 as my first guitar?

good idea?

[309502854]

absolutely not

[2468oldschooltimes]

you simply cant go wrong with a Danelctro period! I am on my fourth! So i put my money down

[NearlyAMusician]

hmm yes and no. If you're into the genre of music yes

[UnderWearNinjas]

dude i bought a fender sick as hell

[beatlezrawesome]

@UnderWearNinjas Idk, possibly not a great idea, because to buy one in perfectly functioning condition will cost you upwards of 250 dollars. when you could buy an acoustic for 150-200. its better to start on acoustic. take it from me, i play in a band.

[AlexManteiv]

Have you seen them on ebay?

[bilbomarks]

@AlexManteiv Lot's of teiscos on ebay usually. 

[buhler32]

I totally want one! xD nice playin

[AlexManteiv]

Thanks, its a nice gutar, little harder to play than a top Gibson or Fender but still worth it.

[TheCousin666]

right. it's easy for an advanced guitar player to play professional music on a new built Fender/Gibson/Ibanez (or what else...) guitar. well, I love my Hofner Galaxie 176. It is played more by than any other guitar in my equipment ;)

[kevinadio14]

dood u got an angus young sig. sg nice

[AlexManteiv]

Actually a regular 2006 with with an added 1968 vibrato I bought on ebay.

[spacefuzzz]

do you think a bigsby vibrato work on this guitar?

[KevyNova]

I have a friend who has one of these with the amp/case. He doesn't even play guitar but he won't sell it to me because his father gave it to him!

[martincq]

Great playing, Why did you sell it? in the last few years these have really jumped up in price, I have the single pickup amp-in-case model plus an original 59 DC 3011 single pickup, I could never replace them for what I paid for them. I've played Danos for years and they have treated me well

[AlexManteiv]

Because someone offered me 1400.00 for it. I bought another one for 600.00 in slightly less shape but still sounds & plays as good as my last. I'm hooked on these guitars.

[lordsummerisles]

One of these just sold on ebay uk with the amp-in-the-case for about £260...bargain!

[csason]

Sounds really sweet..

[CzirDzir]

i bought the same guitar for $20

i hate the bridge

[AlexManteiv]

I sold this one 2 months ago for 1400.00 because of its condition and the fact it was owned by a relative of the creator of this model.

Check Vintage magazine, their getting up there in price. You got more than a deal.

I hope you enjoy it, they have a nice tone.

[martincq]

Cool. you had one of the Joe Fisher Dano's

[unseenbadass]

I just had an eargasm

[AlexManteiv]

I get them now & then too

[Boghman22]

I love it!!! No beating that oh-so-sweet silvertone, uhhh, well Tone!

[AlexManteiv]

They are great for tone, necks well OK

[frenchytouch]

very nice tone!

[AlexManteiv]

I had no overdrive accept turn up the tube amp till I got just a very small bit of drive. I think these guitars have great tone.

[jonny1251]

I've been looking at these guitars for a long time now (1457's). I was wondering how they sound with a bit of dirt/overdrive because they sure sound amazing clean.
