Silvertone Guitar?

Silvertone was originally built for Sears by Valco, Danelectro, and Harmony. The brand was not "stand alone" until 2002 when Samick (the largest guitar maker on the planet) bought the name.

That being said, Silvertone is on the same level as Squire, Johnson, Austin, and other budget brands. Great for learning to play but not so great for anyone beyond an intermediate player.

It is important to note, however, that Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) uses a vintage Valco-built Silvertone on stage for 1 or 2 songs. This was a REALLY lousy guitar but his guitar techs did some magic.

Todays Silvertones are indeed better than the old ones but are not any better- or any worse- than any other entry level instrument.

Silvertone's were originally manufactured for Sears and Roebucks from the 1940's till the early 1970's. Many greats remember their first guitars being Silvertones, Muddy Water's, Chet Atkins, Mary Chapin Carpenter, etc....

The brand was resurrected several years ago, I believe Samick manufactures the guitars in Korea. Samick is a leading manufacture of guitars in the Asian world, many name brand instruments have been built by Samick with other companies logo's on the headstock. Paul Stanley of Kiss has or had a model made by Silverstone that he designed. But to answer your question, yes they are well made instruments that are great for the beginner.

Good Luck
