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.
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.
