Used Silvertone 1449 W/ AMP CASE Vintage Electric Guitar Black 6-String
Shipping: $65
Description
This Silvertone 1449 with original amp case is a true vintage classic, finished in black and paired with its iconic in-case amplifier. Built in the mid-1960s and sold through Sears, the 1449 became legendary for its raw garage-rock tone, slim double-cut body, lipstick pickup, and ultra-cool “amp in the case” design. Serial number 18511090. The original hard case with built-in amplifier is included, making this a complete and highly collectible setup. Please note the bridge currently cannot be adjusted and will require attention to be fully functional and adjustable.
The 1449 is closely associated with early garage rock and blues-driven tones, prized for its gritty character and unmistakable vibe. The single lipstick pickup delivers bright, punchy clarity with a slightly microphonic edge that records beautifully and cuts through a mix. The compact tube-powered case amp adds warm breakup at lower volumes, giving you that saturated, vintage snarl without needing a full stack. For players and collectors, it is a unique piece of music history that blends quirky design with genuinely inspiring tone.
This guitar and amp case have been tested thoroughly in-store to ensure they power on and function as described. We buy, sell, and trade used gear every day, so if you have equipment you are ready to move on from, bring it in and put it toward your next great find. Please take a close look at all listing photos, as minor cosmetic wear and vintage imperfections may not be fully detailed in the description.
