Silvertone 1417 / Kay solid body Rarer vibrato version of the model 1413
The model 1413 and 1417 ran from 1963 through 1966. Most of both models sported this one's conventional style Kay headstock, while the very last ones in 1966 sported the deco "paddle" headstock.
The raucus tone of the DeArmond "cheese grater" pickup and vibe of these guitars are allot of fun to play, especially at gigs where you can let it all hang out where raucus tones really come alive in their element.
The GREAT tone of these guitars comes from their "cheese grater" pickup mounted on a slab of solid wood that is now aged and seasoned with playing vibrations.
PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTS: Vintage electric Silvertone Turquoise guitar made around the late 50's early 60's. Guitar is appx. 361/2 inches long by 12 3/4 inches wide. Guitar has some wear on the edges and sides,as shown in pic., also guitar is missing two of the pegs that tighten the strings and also the bar as shown in pic.,because of this I am selling as is, the rest of the guitar seem to be in good condition,with good color, and no breaks that I can see, cover for guitar is in good condition, but zipper is broke, no tears, handle still intact. A great guitar collectible, no reserve, check out my other listings.
Note:
The missing "bar" the previous owner mentions in his description, is the vibrato arm. The missing "pegs" are the string posts of tuners 1 and 5. The #1 string post ferrule is also missing. This guitar remains in line awaiting it's turn on my bench to replace those parts, and a moderate price increase for that work. If this guitar has still not yet made it to my bench when someone desires to buy it, ....the chances are good I will have the parts on hand or can aquire them. If I do have the parts I will put them on the guitar at no charge since the guitar will be benched for pre-shipment inspection and set-up. |
