The short scale, straight neck, reinforced by steel rods, and the fast action on this guitar make it a real joy to play. This guitar is also about five pounds so it is easy to carry from gig to gig and it is balanced perfectly for playing. This guitar has a clean, sweet tone that tells the story of its more than fifty years of maturation and it looks and feels fantastic. This guitar, with its plastic buttons on the tuners, is one of the earlier, very rare makes of this model and it is difficult to find. Get this guitar now while you can.

CONDITION:Description from VintageSilvertones.com
This guitar is very clean and in good condition. There are some barely visible scratches and one tiny ding on the back. There is also a small, barely visible spot of wear at the upper treble horn. At the bottom edge of the lower treble bout there is a little, tiny bit of wear. Some lines of thin scratches (about seven) radiate out around the input jack from the bottom point of the pickguard. It looks as if someone did it on purpose for some sort of design. Even with this minor cosmetic wear, this 1448 still plays well and sounds fantastic.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

TUNERS:Description from VintageSilvertones.com
The opened back, six in-line, one-piece chrome tuners with roundish, plastic buttons are in very good working order.
