She's playing a Sears Silvertone guitar made by Danelectro in the 60's. It was
one of the worst electric guitars ever made. Would never tune, probably even
when brand new. The body is made of masonite and had an 18 fret short scale
neck. They were sold out of the Sear catalog along with a case that had a small
tube amp built into it and all for $67 and change!
Lots of famous folks play them mostly for their shabby-chic quality. You can
get some nice tone out of them with the Danelectro Lipstick Pickup but after
playing a couple of these (and owning one in the late 80's) I can tell you
they're truly awful.
