The Silvertone 1449 is closely related to the iconic 1448 case-amp concept, sharing the same basic Danelectro tube circuit but with slightly different cosmetics or speaker configuration. Like the 1448, it was designed to be a complete beginner's guitar outfit that could be sold as a single Sears catalog item, bundled with a guitar. Its primitive tone and lo-fi character have made it a cult object for garage rock and blues players.
