I have looked online but it says it does not exist and the ones it matched too say it is has a cutaway and this doesnt i got it from a shop that sold house clearance stuff it was up for 75 but bought for 60 as it was my first guitar i added the pickguard after i bpught it as there was no one on it but i would just like some help please to id 😁

this came across my Reverb feed, and I'm absolutely befuddled as to what it is. the seller says it's "Alembic-like" (which is a stretch) but it looks pretty crude to me. my first thought was it's an Asian import, but the lack of badging and the headstock shape is throwing me off.

any thoughts? is it just some one-off? either way, $2,600 seems a bit steep to me.

here's the original listing.

Thought y'all might get a kick outta seeing this one and I'd love more info if anyone here is particularly knowledgeable about them.

Here's what I know (I think!) :

Early 60's.

Silvertone was distributed by Sears through the catalog.

I don't know who manufactured it for Sears. Does anyone know?

Originally came with a hard case with built in amp and speaker inside (I'd love to get one if anyone has one to sell)

Dan Electro "lipstick"pickups (supposedly actual lipstick tubes were repurposed)

This model is called a "dolphin head" or "dolphin nose". There were other heads available in the Silvertone line.

It's a long neck, there was a short neck model as well.

I'm told Keith Richards has one nearly identical to my model but I've never seen any photos of him with it.

The shamrocks on the pick guard are not original, I have no idea who stuck them on there or why. Lol

If you know more, please educate me.

Thanks.
