Silvertone 1457 Guitar & Amp (5/5)

This is a 1449 - identical to the 1457 except for the pickguard and color.
I imagine if you turn off a hot amp and close the case, things could get rather warm inside
The 1449 gave way to the 1457 after just one year, and is pretty rare

This 1449 uses open-back tuners, like the 1448. The 1457 uses 'skate-key' tuners, which apparently were an upgrade. Danelectro used whatever they had on hand, and you find both kinds of tuners on all models, afaik.

Danelectro '63 (1457) Guitar

This body style was originally reissued in a range of models - guitar, bass ( long and short scale ) and baritone. I only have the guitar. These were part of Danelectro's Chinese production, and while not bad, are not as nice as the prior or later Korean models. A second reissue in 2015 restored the gloss sparkly finish of the vintage original. None of the reissues use the original headstock shape, though.
