THE REAL DEAL

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

Lipstick single coil pickups
The single-coil pickups of the 1478 are wound to the same specifications as the originals. We reverse-engineered the old pickups and duplicated the wire, windings, magnets, and materials as closely as possible.

UPGRADED HARDWARE

Upgrade Hardware
The original 1478 had less-than-modern bridge, tailpiece, and tuners. The reissue has a fully adjustable bridge for accurate intonation, an Authentic Bigsby®tremolo tailpiece and smooth individual tuners.

IMPROVED PLAYABILITY

Improved Playability

Neck shapes and fret jobs were inconsistent on the original 1478. 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.
