Description
What’s special about this guitar: This is a phenomenal sounding vintage 60s Silvertone Model 1454 hollow body electric in a beautiful sunburst finish. This is an exceptional version of this model given that its very clean, has excellent playability and the pickups and electronics are healthy and sound as good as ever! Features include a Bigbsy tailpiece, three original single-coil pickups, flame maple top and back and a super comfortable maple neck with bound fingerboard. The three-pickup configuration really adds some nice versatility and the individual pickups on/off switches allow the player to use any combination of the three pickups they desire. It’s rare to find this model in such great shape so this guitar is a must-hand piece for any Silvertone collector!
Condition: Great shape overall, especially for the guitar’s age! There are various minor scratches, small nicks, dings, dents and chips throughout the guitar with consistent weather checking throughout the finish.

The fingerboard and frets are in very good shape with moderate play wear and plenty of life left in them. The nut has been re-glued but works perfectly. The neck is super comfortable with great action and the truss rod functions perfectly. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
