Description: Up for sale, a 1957 Silvertone model 1359 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted by Danelectro in the USA, distinctive features include the early peanut body shape, coke bottle headstock, and "Tan and Ginger" textured finish. This rare Silvertone was only offered via the Sears catalog, and not available in stores like the majority of Silvertone's other offerings. Also unique among Danelectro's guitars under the Silvertone brand, this guitar has a solid center block on the body, a feature only seen on early examples. The “peanut” body is crafted from masonite over a poplar frame, and this SIlvertone is featherweight at 5lbs 10oz, with a warm, full acoustic response that carries more sonic heft than fully hollow Danelectros while still yielding plenty of jangle. The single coil lipstick pickups are sweet and round-sounding with plenty of treble chime and sparkle. This Silvertone model 1359 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings and low action.
