The 1451 amp-in-case was
the beginning of the end. While it was the first actual solidbody Silvertone made by Dano,
made from an actual piece of solid wood, it was also the end of Dano as a supplier to Sears
for guitars and amps. After late 1968, much of the personality of the Sears instrument & amp line was
drained of its vitality. Generic amps and guitars without
even the benefit of the Silvertone name ruled at Sears, and brought a
great era in American music to a close.
