Silvertone Guitar

THIS IS ONE OWNER>>>>>>HE DIED, but he took good care of it,,,,,,

EVERTHING WORKS...Has a new cord and one side of the tuners Is a little different than the other and I don't believe they are original. The amp is clean sounding. The volume and tone are clean too and are the original electronics. There are no string on it. You can put what you want.

US ONLY...Lower 48

Silvertone Model Lap Steel Electric Guitar, made by Harmony, c. 1948, made in Chicago, sunburst lacquer finish, wood body.

A very good-sounding budget lap steel from the just-postwar Sears Silvertone line. The electronics are very similar to Gibson's 1941 Kalamazoo unit, and it's generally held that CMI sold off the unused stock of these pickups to Chicago builders Harmony and Kay after WWII as they had been superceeded in the company's line. This is a very light but powerful steel and a cool piece of 1940's steel history.
 
Overall length is 31 7/8 in. (81 cm.), 9 in. (22.9 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 23 in. (584 mm.). Width of nut is 2 in. (51 mm.). all original except tuner buttons; some average wear but nice overall. Excellent Condition.

AMP

The 1340 had a pretty good run as the bottom or near-bottom of the line in Silvertone amps for the period that it was offered. Super basic, volume control only, it did at least have two inputs. The retirement date of the 1340 also marked the end of the Valco-made amp era. The Fall/Winter catalog that year featured a full line of Danelectro designed and built amps.
