1962-1967 Silvertone 1448


This is a sweet Silvertone guitar that we recently took in and are very excited to bring to the Reverb marketplace. It has quite a bit of cosmetic wear throughout the instrument but still plays great after a fresh setup and sounds really nice. This could be a wonderful vintage guitar for anyone in the market for something with unique aesthetics and simple controls.

Later, Silvertone distributed a two-pickup version with a louder amp as the 1449.
