Doing Things Wrong

Body - Plywood/Plywood

Plywood is an excellent material for building a hollow-body guitar. It may be used for just the faces, or the entire construction. Plywood would also make a very stable neck, although the aesthetics would be questionable.

This is another factory guitar, vintage 1960s, made by Danelectro and sold exclusively through Sears. The 1448 was one of the cheapest electric guitars in the Sears catalog, but it came with something special - it's own amplifier built into the hardshell case. There is almost no wear on this guitar, I don't think it was played much.
