Description: Very Rare Vintage 1947 Silvertone 1300 Guitar Amplifier just like Luther Perkins used on Johnny Cash Records. Works & Looks Great The Silvertone 1300 guitar amplifier was introduced in the Spring/Summer of 1947 and manufactured until 1950. This was a Sears and Roebuck guitar amplifier that sold in their catalog for $60-$70 under the part number 57L01300. It was a simple amp with 3 inputs, an 8 inch speaker and 12-14 watts of maximum output through a 5 tube power unit. It was beautifully put together in a small but tough wooden cabinet that featured a treble clef painted across the front speaker fabric and a leather handle on the top. The three inputs are controlled with two separate volume knobs (two of the inputs are tied to a single volume knob) and a master tone switch for all three inputs that also functioned as the on/off switch for the amp.The Silvertone 1300 was used by a number of artists during the 1950's and can be credited with establishing many of the signature and iconic sounds and songs that were created during this era. Most notably, Luther Perkins who used the Silvertone 1300 during the recording sessions of a number of Johnny Cash songs including the classics "Folsom Prison Blues", "Cry, Cry, Cry", and "Hey Porter". From this early use, the Silvertone 1300 amp has earned some real-estate at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville where it is proudly on display.''AMPLIFIER ONLY'' You will never find another oneQuestions or to Deal and save on t a x e s402 670 3940
