Just like the original back in 1963, the Silvertone 1478 electric guitar offers a unique sound and playing experience that will inspire you to express yourself the same way as the rock icons that played the originals did. The philosophy behind the Silvertone Classic line is to respect the original vintage designs while improving on previous manufacturing limitations through modern engineering, parts and craftsmanship and most importantly, the opinions of modern guitar players. In other words, vintage vibe for the modern player.
