The “Guitar of Guitars”. This one is in mint condition, killer sounding and has an immaculate sparkle finish. Another mid-positioned single lipstick tube pickup, masonite pine body, swoopy headstock and the undeniable vinyl sidewalls just like the wheels of a 50′s Caddy.
And to top it all off – it’s got a tube amp built into the case – ready to rock.
The 1448 is the one. The guitar that sums up the entire Dano/Silvertone philosophy of it’s founder, Nathan Daniel all in one package. The 1448 ran from ’62 to ’66 and Sears sold a bucketload of them. The preferred axe of Beck and a secret weapon of guitarists and engineers the whole world over. A stroke of genius from Nate Daniel.
In regards to the 1448 listed here – it’s in really really good condition. Sparkle finish is mint. It comes with the Amp In Case too, which is a really good one, sounds great and is in good physical condition. Both in combination sound killer and while it isn’t a load setup or giggable amp – it sounds great as a dirty practice setup and amazing thru a microphone for recordings.
Also have another Amp In Case which is in disrepair but is in working order. You would need to source a replacement speaker or re-cone the original as it’s many previous owners have only quick repaired tears and it’s kinda rattly sounding.
Deep South Vintage, Ireland 
We Are You…
We are passionate about writing playing and recording great music. We love the processes and tools used in the past and the present to produce great music. We feel that all music is recapitulation and a reinterpretation of what has gone before, that the only thing that changes is the perspective of the creators and the knowledge that a good tool will always hold its value and can enable someone to paint a picture relative and fresh in its time .
We Want To…
Offer budding or experienced musicians and producers killer vintage guitars and basses to start with and in the mean time great we will be hunting down and finding vintage amps, synths, effects and recording gear. We want to import quality kit mainly from the US and Europe for re-sale in Ireland, the UK and Mainland Europe.
I’m really into vintage American, European and Japanese copies of the big brands and that’s what I will be mostly stocking instore. We will have the odd Fender, Gibson or Greatch but we will mainly be searching for Silvertones, Kay’s, Harmony’s, Danelectro, Teisco’s, Kents, and all sorts of little manufacturers from the golden age of guitar building.
It’s the sound of these things. They sound different. They’ve got bags of character, style and a sound that – to me – is unsurpassable. These git’s don’t sound like a Strat or a Les Paul. They don’t sound like everything else. They have their own thing going on. You then also don’t sound like everyone else when you use them and that gives you an edge.
Jimi Hendrix’s first guitar was a Silvertone DC2. Jimmy Page used a Twin Twelve in the studio. Clapton recorded with Danos and Silvertones. These guitars and amps and the recording gear they went through, create that sound we love, and can’t be recreated in a piece of software.
It’s all about the look, the attitude and most importantly “The Sound!” And they have all that and bags of it. Once you have heard the stuff you won’t go back.
