VintageSilvertones.com celebrates 22 years in business by presenting some unique reissues. And, we just posted a groovy psychedelic, splatter paint Kay that looks like Jackson Pollack got hold of it. Also added are a Fender Jimi Hendrix Tribute Stratocaster, a super groovy and rare Switch Aurora, a VOX “Winchester”, and a Custom-Made Wild Style guitar. Check out the shop for the full selection.

Looking for vintage guitar parts, we’re selling those on our ebay page; which is now on our site too. The parts draw is here. Got some unique and oddball items for anyone working on a project. They include Burns-Baldwin logo plates, Framus knobs, Multivox Premier hardware, lots of knobs, & much more which are for sale on our ebay account.

There’s still some tweaks to be done in the gallery. We’ve switched from Paypal to Stripe. If you prefer to use Paypal drop us a note. If the Fedex shipping is not working for International shipments or seems excessive, drop us a note. We will help out or get a better price.

INFORMATION

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.

This site was started to establish an accurate history of Silvertone guitars and has now expanded into other manufactures. Silvertones were created for Sears by a variety of manufacturers including Harmony, Danelectro, Kay, National/Valco/Supro, and Teisco of Japan.
