Silvertone Artist
Unknown brand · electric guitar
The Silvertone Artist is a classic semi-hollowbody electric guitar available in both acoustic and electric versions. The acoustic version features Engelmann spruce top (light color, straight grain) with mahogany back and sides, known for pronounced even tonality, smooth, mature tone, and enhanced sustain. 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.
