Description

This is an early 1960’s Silvertone made by Harmony of Chicago. The Jupiter 1423 is the top of Harmony’s Stratotone line. The body style is similar to a Les Paul. It has DeArmond pickups, beautiful mother-of-pearl block inlays on the neck, a black finish speckled with rich gold color and the “Blender” control which regulates the bass and treble pickups. The fast action feels good on the fingers. This guitar features a set list on its back from perhaps a rocking gig in its long and interesting history. Listen to the stories this guitar can tell you with its sweet tone. Other than some very little wear on top of the headstock, this guitar looks really good, plays beautifully and sounds excellent. It comes with a good quality gig bag.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

CONDITION:
This guitar is in good condition. Very clean and 100% original. The “ne” part of the “Silvertone” logo on the headstock has broken off. The paint and finish have endured the years very well.

TUNERS:
All original, opened back, individual chrome plated, plastic button tuners in good working order.
Description from VintageSilvertones.com

NECK:
Bolt-on, straight, fully bound, mother of pearl inlays on rosewood fretboard, 20 frets, and 25.25″ scale. Frets are in good condition with lots of life left in them. The action is fast. The frets and fretboard feels fantastic under your fingers. Headstock has some slight paint wear. 
Description from VintageSilvertones.com

PICKUPS:
Two DeArmonds that give a great surf or heavy rock sound but could work for a varity of styles. Neck (bass) pickup is very strong, rich, and loud with a bite. Bridge (treble) pickup is very twangy and loud with a smooth bite. Overall, the pickups work and sound excellent. Both together are very jazzy sounding. Individual volume and tone controls for both pickups along with the Blender control and three position pickup selector switch. All electronics work properly. Description from VintageSilvertones.com
