The Silvertone 1478 is a stunning reimagining of the iconic 1478 offset guitar first launched in 1964. Featuring signature contours and a bound fingerboard, this model blends timeless style with modern upgrades for enhanced playability, tone, and tuning stability, for solid, reliable performance.

Re-engineered for today's guitarist, the 1478 features a comfortable modern C-shape neck with a 24 -3/4" scale length, replacing the original oversized profile. Custom Silvertone(R) Silver Foil pickups -- housed in mini-humbucker casings -- deliver improved clarity, balance, and dynamic response.

Inspired by early DeArmond(R) pickups, the noiseless Silver Foils deliver chimey highs, warm mids, and articulate response -- sitting between overwound single-coils and traditional humbuckers. They shine with clean tones, overdrive, and modern digital rigs.
