This is an early 1960s Silvertone model 1420L Stratotone dual-pickup electric guitar, made in USA by

Harmony of Chicago, Illinois. The lightweight hollow body is a single-cutaway style

similar to a Les Paul model, and is completely bound with ivory-white binding. Neck is straight with 20 clean,

undamaged frets, and has dot inlays in the fretboard. Headstock has all original

fully functioning open-gear tuners, and the white Silvertone script is still very clear. Playing

action is low and easy with an adjustable bridge in place. The two pickups are single-coil type,

providing authentic 1950s sound, each with its own set of tone and volume controls. A

sliding three-position selector switch offers the player the options of using the more

treble-sounding neck pickup, the deeper-sounding bridge pickup, or both together for the

loudest, and most twangy sounds. Pickup plates, string pegs on tuners, and tailpiece are

chrome. This particular model instrument was featured in the 1961 Sears catalog.


The guitar's tuxedo style shows in the white pickguard surrounded by, and in contrast with, the

larger area of black body finish, and also contrasting with the black control knobs and

switch tip, making it visually similar to a man's formal black-tie tuxedo suit.

This guitar is in excellent original condition which is exceptional, considering it is now more

than 50 years old. There are very few nicks and only superficial scratches or edge wear from

having been played. Everything on this instrument is very clean and in fully working condition,

and is priced at just a fraction of what is comparable elsewhere. Original hard case included.

Now only $499 cash or best reasonable offer, serious offers only.
