Description: Silvertone Jupiter in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a vintage Hard shell case. All Original. Manufactured by Harmony in the USA. Silvertone model 1423 has a Black Sparkle finish with Gold Flakes that was exclusive to the Silvertone-branded version of this guitar, available via Sears. This model was only offered from Winter 1959-63, and was one of Silvertone's more expensive offerings. Nice low action with no wear on the frets. Triple binding on neck and body. The pickups have strong output and the clear, percussive quality that you only get from a DeArmond Gold Foil (this particular iteration of the gold foil design has silver diamond covers). The tone is full and dynamically responsive, with a distinctive woody bite when picked with authority, and a glassy clarity in every pickup position. The body is fully hollow, which adds a certain richness and soft attack to the notes, distinct from what can be achieved with a solidbody instrument. Super Light weight, 4 pounds 10 OZ.!!
