1478 Electric Solidbody

SILVERTONE "The Roots of Rock"

Originally offered in 1963, the Silvertone 1478 was an instant favorite. The offset double cutaway body is made of solid Mahogany with a maple top, for a deep rich tone with top end bite. The genuine Bigsby® tremolo and adjustable steel bridge mean faultless intonation and better string attack – an improvement over the rosewood bridge and antiquated tremolo system on the original. We also paid special attention to the neck profile, improving it with a modern C-shape, as well as coupling it to the body with a newly engineered neck joint system for longer sustaining notes. This reissue is the real deal.

VINTAGE SINGLE COIL PICKUPS:  The single-coil pickups of the 1478 are wound to the same specifications as the originals. Silvertone reverse-engineered the old pickups and duplicated the wire, windings, and magnets of the materials as closely as possible.

UPGRADED HARDWARE: The original 1478 had less-than-modern bridge, tailpiece and tuners. The Reissue has a fully adjustable bridge for accurate intonation, and authentic Bigsby Tremolo tailpiece and smooth individual tuners. Neck shapes and fret jobs were inconsistent on the original 1478.

IMPROVED PLAYABILITY: The reissue features a comfortable (and consistent) C-shaped neck with a precise and well-finished fret job. The neck also features a two-way truss rod for accurate and dependable adjustment.
