Description
The Silvertone 1478 VRSB returns with modern performance upgrades while preserving the iconic style that made it a favorite since its 1964 debut. Known for its red sunburst finish, offset contours, bound fingerboard, and signature vibrato, the 1478 remains a classic for players and collectors alike.
Now re-engineered for today’s guitarist, the 1478RSB features a comfortable modern C-shape neck with a 24 ¾” scale length, replacing the original oversized profile. Custom Silvertone® Silver Foil pickups—housed in mini-humbucker casings—deliver improved clarity, balance, and dynamic response.
A Tune-o-matic–style bridge with roller saddles provides smooth vibrato use and rock-solid tuning stability. Vibrato tailpiece for expressive pitch control. Designed for fast playability and long sessions on stage or in the studio.
Premium Construction
- Mahogany body with maple top and back
- Mahogany C-profile neck
- Rosewood fingerboard with advanced frets
- 24 ¾” scale length
Enhanced Vintage Tone
Inspired by early DeArmond® pickups, the new 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.
