Description
1968-1970
The 1445
was part of the late-68 ‘Japanese Invasion’ of the Sears catalog. It sported a rather Mosrite-y shape, very much like the groovy Teisco/Univox/Kawai strummers of the same era. With three pickups, a whammy setup, a fancy edge bevel, and a fancy finish that let the grain of some nice veneer show, the 1445 was in the top group of Japanese-built Silvertones.
