Silvertone 1449 BSF Electric Guitar, Black Sparkle (pre-owned)

A Cult Classic Reborn.

Some guitars simply have a personality all of their own and the Silvertone 1449 is undeniably unique! Finished in striking Black Silver Flake, this reissue captures the unmistakable charm of one of the most iconic catalogue guitars ever made, combining retro styling with modern playability and the bright, characterful tones that made the original a cult favourite.

Loaded with a pair of vintage-style ‘lipstick’ single-coil pickups, the 1449 delivers sparkling cleans, crisp twang and gritty overdriven tones that are equally at home in blues, garage rock, indie and classic rock. The comfortable C-shaped neck and fully adjustable bridge make it a far more refined instrument than its vintage predecessor, while still retaining all the quirky appeal that has attracted players from beginners to professionals alike.

This example is in great played condition, showing only honest signs of use. There is light fret wear in the lower positions, minor tarnishing to the hardware and some light swirling and handling marks to the finish, but no dings or structural damage.

Full of vintage character, distinctive looks and inspiring tones, this Silvertone 1449 is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting something a little different from the crowd.
