These guitars' cases had a small built-in amplifier, and the guitars themselves had very short-scale 18-fret necks, which proved popular with beginners. The 1448 had a single lipstick pickup, while the 1449 was equipped with a two-pickup configuration, and was succeeded in 1964 by the 1457 model. Two of the best-known Silvertone offerings are the Danelectro-built Silvertone 14, made in the early to mid-1960s. The guitars, especially the 1960s models, are frequently prized by collectors today. Silvertone instruments and amplifiers were manufactured by various companies, including Danelectro, Valco, Harmony, Thomas, Kay and Teisco.
