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.

I don't know if these colored pickups from Harmony/DeArmond sound as good as the Goldtones - maybe someone can fill us in. these versions always seem to sell for a litle less than the earlier models - maybe just because they are later and less vintage....
