Time will tell. Don't forget Diehard and other trade names....

Hard to forget brand names I avoid like the plague. My boss bought a
Diehard marine battery. We hadda replace it within the week.

Silvertone is long gone.

Thank goodness fer small favors! I once had a Silvertone bass
amplifier. Brand new, it was already crap and I returned it to Sears
the next day.

Their guitars/basses were made by Dan Electro and they were also junk.
I hadda buddy who bragged he'd scored a DE Long-Horn bass. He paid
$600 for it and thought he's scored some kinda hot deal. I played it
and told him, "This cost about $75USD, new, and it certainly isn't
worth that much, now". I found another DE guitar at my jammin'
buddy's house. I'm not sure, but I think the high-end strings I gave
him ($10 set), to re-string that guitar, were worth more than the
guitar.

You see a lotta Dan Electro's in use, these days. The "lipstick"
pick-up is held in high esteem by many of today's hipsters. The
guitar, itself, is still essentially junk.


Confucius sez "Opinions are like assholes... just cuz you have one
doesn't mean you need to reveal it to the rest of the world." LOL

I'll just leave these here for you to scoff at:
