Vintage Silvertone guitars
WELCOME TO VINTAGESILVERTONES.COM
National Glenwood Val-Pro 99- electric guitar 3 pickups, made in Chicago 1962res-o-glass VintageSilvertones.com is a curated collection of electric guitars chosen for their unique tone, design, and significance in electric guitar history from approximately 1950-1980. This collection approaches electric guitars from the underdog perspective. So we carry guitars built for the masses, luthiers & manufacturers who pushed the boundaries as to what was possible in terms of not only instrument quality but tone. Design also plays an important consideration in this collection. Alternative materials, innovative tuning systems, and high quality-low cost manufacturing processes are only some of the unique qualities found on instruments at VintageSilvertones.com.

Silvertone bass - Beatles violin shaped, 2 pickups, sunburst finish, made in Japan circa 1966 This site was started to establish an accurate history of Silvertone guitars and has now expanded into other manufactures.

You can read more about VintageSilvertones in the gallery area.

An extremely wise Liverpudlian once said: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Well, we've been busy with life and now, after a few year's hiatus, it's time to present the first phase of our new collection. For your consideration are some truly unique guitars: Silvertones, Danelectros Harmonys, a Supro 60, an Eko Florentine, and many more. Also, did we mention for all you Shagg's fans, there's a pretty stunning Avalon AV-2T. There's more to come very soon, stay tuned. Welcome to VintageSilvertones.com!
