1961 Silvertone Model 1415 (U-1) copper

Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA by Danelectro, one pickup, dolphin headstock (6 inline tuners), the pots have the dates covered by solder so we won´t disturb this but can still see that it has untouched electronics and capacitors and from the specs date the guitar within a year, non-original back plate (cut from a metal sign), somewhat aged bronze finish, all original parts and knobs, no case, more info: in Bronze-metallic finish with dolphin headstock, The Silvertone is made by Danelectro and is actually the same guitar as the Danelectro U1. The hollow Masonite body is equipped with one original lip-stick singlecoils pickup, 1x Volume- and 1xTone control, The 'Dolphin Nose' 14XX series was the end of the 6-string 'U' series of guitars offered by Sears. They carried on the standard of the 'lipstick' pickup, the classic cutaway look of the body, and features you couldn't see like the dual neck truss rods, internal shielding for the electronics, and (as the catalog put it) 'core of hardwood balanced by hollow wing sections,' all topped off by the famous 'modern headpiece.' These guitars finished what the started in 1954 and disappeared with the advent of the 1448/49/57 line in late 1962. Introduced: Fall/Winter 1959 Retired: Spring/Summer 1962 This one with the top loaded Input jack makes it a later model 1415
