The electric version (Model 1478 Reissue) features mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets on 24.5 inch scale, two Silvertone single-coil pickups with individual volume and tone controls, 3-way toggle switch, 5-layer tortoiseshell pickguard, and Tune-O-Matic bridge with Bigsby tremolo. The single-coil pickups deliver unique vintage tone with more body than standard Fender designs, almost P90-ish character.
