They still sell those?!

http://www.americanmusical.com/Silvertone
 
Though in my days, the Silvertone brand had been discontinued and Sears catalog guitars were sold under the name "Harmony". My best friend had one of those Harmony - a cream strat w/ maple neck. Man, I envied him!
 
Anyway, many of my heroes started out on a Silvertone, and I was rather surprised when I saw the brand on AMS site tonight.

    I had a Silvertone amp. It must have put out all of 5 Watts, through a 10-inch speaker. I thought it was pretty awful back in the day. Wish I still had it!
     
    BTW, there is a Wikipedia entry for Silvertone. According to that, the first product under the Silvertone brand was a hand-cranked phonograph in 1915. Today, the brand is owned by Korean manufacturer Samick, who builds Squire and some Epiphone guitars in Indonesia.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    I got my first electric...a no name brand slab of wood with a single pickup...when my roommate at military school got a new Silvertone guitar with the amp in the case and I got his hand-me-down.  I loved having any electric guitar but I sure envied his rig.

    My first real amp was a Silvertone 1485, all tube, two output transformers, 6x10 Special Design Jensen speakers. Using both inputs actually made it a lot louder, it really was too loud. "I Can See For Miles" sounded killer through it.
    Someone stole it from a club long ago but I still have the footswitch! I can't believe they sell for over 1k USD now.
