A good amp tech can repair this rip, as can a good Upholsterer or Luggage Repairman or good Craftsman. ------------ oOo ------------ INFO ABOUT THIS 1448 SET: This guitar has sat packed away in my storage awaiting it's turn for my work bench, in a long line of guitars I've refurbished and continue to do. Due to regular and continuing inquiries about Silvertone Danelectro Guitar & Amp-case sets, I figured I'd pull and unpack these two 1448 sets I found "hidden" away in my storage of old guitars, and at least let Folks know I have them for their own refurbishing and/or clean-up, or hire me to refurbish them, or simply wait their turn in line for me to refurbish them and place them for sale refurbished (not much to clean up and refurbish on either of these sets). Please note that I will also take the best parts of the two sets to make a best set and a lessor set, and adjust the prices upward and downward commensurately (probably refurbishing the lessor set myself ...which I really enjoy doing, ...if someone else doesn't discover these and do it themselves or have it done). Although this matching 1448 set has sat a long time even before I warehoused it in 1993, and thus needs a good cleanup (disassembled clean-up if I do it), ...it has very few substantial issues; And these Silvertone Danelectro sets are quite easy and most enjoyable to refurbish, even if by disassembly. Here is a 1449 set (and other guitars) I've refurbished and/or cleaned up, along with schematics and allot of useful information. NOTICE: I will clean up and refurbish any of these guitars and/or amp-cases for an additional $150 each plus the cost of any parts that I might not have on hand. I do expert work; You could send me a filthy beat up guitar and when you get it back it will seem like it's not the same guitar. But a reasonably good craftsman can also do this work on ST1400 series Silvertones quite easily. Please see 1448 Set #1's pages for allot more info and helpful information typical of ST1400 series guitars & amp-cases. |
