Silvertone 1457 Guitar & Amp (1/5)

This is the big brother to the Silvertone 1448, vintage 1964-67. Construction is basically the same, but with a full-scale neck, two pickups, and a much better amp. For a lot of details, see the 1448 page. This guitar is in excellent condition for being almost sixty years old, and apart from cleaning and re-stringing, it needed nothing.

1964 Sears catalog: $99.95 = $936.05 today

Stud Bushing Puller

StewMac sells a knob & bushing puller for the breathtaking price of $53.31, plus shipping, of course. Here is one I made in 5 minutes for about $2 in Home Depot parts. It consists of:

  • 3/4" pipe plug
  • 40mm long M8-1.25 ( coarse thread metric ) hex bolt
  • generic washer that fits the bolt, more or less
