Silvertone (Instruments)Silvertone was the brand name used by Sears for their line of musical instruments and sound equipment from the 1930s to 1972. Replacing the Supertone brand, Silvertone had already been the brand on Sears' radios and phonographs since 1915. Probably best known for their line of well made and inexpensive guitars, the brand became popular with novice musicians. Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix and countless others had a Silvertone for their first guitar. The name was placed on guitars from more than a few different manufacturers over the years, including" Danelectro, National, Harmony, Kay, and Teisco. The guitars - especially the 1960s models - are prized by collectors today.
