Silvertone 1480 (aka 1478) "Redfoil" Silhouette on Rhode Island for $550

This seller is offering a fairly rare Silvertone 1480 Silhouette. As far as I can tell the 1480 is just like the 1478 but in redburst finish with matching redfoil pickups (go figure).

I believe the seller is correct in saying that this model was only available in 1967. Note that this is definitely a Silhouette not a Bobkat/H15/H17 but it is not exactly the same as a Harmony H19 since it doesn't have the Hagstrom Vibrato tailpiece. The 1480 was its own unique model only made for Sears/Silvertone.

  1. You guys must be asleep at the wheel - or else these Harmony Silhouette's are not as popular as I thought. I just got outbid on a nice circa 1965 Silvertone 1478 on eBay 5 minutes ago and the seller got it for $282.50! Very nice guitar in excellent shape from a Pawn Shop in Prescott AZ. I topped out my bidding at $277 and just missed ikt in the last 5 seconds. I should have followed my instincts and went for $301 LOL!

    Guess I chickened out because it would have been my 21st guitar in the house and I really need to do some selling hehe. - JC
