I had to listen to Comfortably Numb to recall the opening slide part. It's subtle but definitely gives the track a great atmospheric tone.

Cool. I dig the blue more too. I like the translucent finish with a bit of woodgrain showing through too.

That's beautiful. It looks like it was never played. Super clean.

I've attempted playing a lap steel a few times. When played well they sound amazing. But, I haven't dedicated enough time to learn to play it well. It's on the bucket list. That's an interesting one that can be played standing, cool!

I've seen King Lizard a couple of times. Their guitars are wild. This one reminded me of a combo of Vox and Teisco when they played it live. I wonder if that's how they made the original. I think the band made their instruments, if I recall the story correctly.

Thanks! Mosrite had a great sense for design. And, their finishes are top rate.

Cool guitar, eh! Do you like this version in a sunburst or the blue version from yesterday better?

Just a tad less in price! I had no idea they were going for that much now. I was going to get $1000-$1500. The Times They Are A Changing!

It would def make an excellent guitar for the Batman theme...especially by The Jam!

Wow! Very nice! Those have been in big demand for many years. I'm not sure on pricing but I bet it's up there.

Nice! The Gospels are very rare with limited runs. The Dillion is a Johnny Ramone style, model, right?

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I saw them around 2018/2019. They were doing a tour of the 2 early albums as Clan Of Xymox. It was a great show. The Pieter Nooten Sleeps with the Fishes album is excellent too.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Yeah, I know what you mean on the speakers.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Cool guitar, eh! Mosrites are really well made guitars with that great Surf sound and lots more tone capabilities.

020

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

It definitely is! Mosrite necks are thin and fast. Def fun to play.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Jerry Jeff Walker would be amazing in the band! Micheal Clarke, Chris Ethridge, Sneaky Pete, PigPen on organ! ;-) Def could be a long list.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Right! I would have loved to have seen the full original band. But, this was a good second experience.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

That's makes sense. A higher quality preamp! great idea!

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Thank you! Mosrite made some pretty amazing guitars back in the day, eh!

Gram Parsons would def be my fantasy artist who comes back from the dead to play live!

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Excellent band. Their first 2 albums on 4AD are what I dig most "Clan Of Xymox" and "Medusa". Great albums start to finish.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

That looks like it'd be fun to play around with.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I love the simplicity of the amp. Nothing more than on/off/volume control. It's really interesting to hear how you configure it for non-standard uses. Good luck with the project.

130

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Exactly! The catalog calls it: "maroon artificial leather". It's early Pleather or something similar. The 1950s were full of interesting facets like this...and they sound pretty great too.

130

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Agreed! They're definitely rare Silvertones/Danelectros. These early ones don't turn up often. That's why we picked up both. Even with the pickguard damage it's still very desirable.

I was lucky enough to see Derv in concert maybe 10 years ago at Baby's Allright. Fun show with many of The Equals songs featured.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

A different take on the fantasy line-up, eh! I should have noted that Emmylou Harris would have the Hot Band backing her. James Burton is the man!

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Thank you! Yeah, they're very hard to find. We had 2 of them. Probably never see another. They were only produced for a few years in the 1950s.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Yeah, these have a nice range. And, def add a little je ne sais quoi to the mix!

Absolutely true! I went directly to Punk since it's pretty grungy in this photo.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

They're pretty amazing. We've had two of them. This one and a virtually identical Silvertone branded model from the same time period. They're very hard to find and rarely go up for sale.

Yeah, it would work nicely for that, for sure! It's a very thin guitar too. So no back issues for those long sessions.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It does, right! It feels like a Punk band guitarist might appreciate it. Gritty to the end!

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

These guitars were not produced in the same numbers as the amp-in-case or Standard-style models. So not as many out there.

VintageSilvertones.com @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

We got this guitar as a project. A friend who does amazing restorations wanted it. So I snapped these photos before sending it to him. Basically, the strings are strung incorrectly. & one is missing. So it makes it seem even more off. It needed work. I'll try to find a foto of the restored version
