Silvertone 1446 "Chris Isaak" in San Pedro CA for $850

This seller is offering a Silvertone1446 for the relatively sane price of $850.  I've seen these go for a good bit more so it should be a nice deal.  These have fairly thin necks for Harmony made guitars so if that is what you like - and you want some of the sexy cache that this guitar embodies - you might want to take a look.

Doesn't include a case but that is not too big of a deal - these fit in most ES-335 type cases, only be careful about that neck and headstock angle - make sure there is enough room for it to lay flat without any pressure.

Commonly known as the Chris Isaak model because it was his first guitar (he also named his third album "Silvertone") these are very sought after among players and collectors. The pickups were made by Gibson and are PAF Mini Humbuckers. They came stock with this model which was the only time Gibson ever interacted with Harmony/Silvertone. Guitar has a great weight and feel. Neck is straight and action is fast. I did a gig with this axe last week and it killed. Hate to part with it but just have too many.
Only modifications are: An ivory colored plate on the input jack and strap locks. I do not have the original pickgaurd either. Will send more photos upon request. Sorry, no case.
