- Description
- Guitarchives
Silvertone 604E, vintage sunburst, made in Indonesia 2020. Silvertone guitars were originally sold US department stores in the fifties and sixties, and despite being student instruments at the time, the original examples enjoy a cult following for their quirky styling and bluesy tones. The brand was recently resurrected, so this one was made last year next door in Indonesia. The styling is based off the original 600 series parlours, but it's got some modern touches like a handy pickup and working tuners. It's got a honky, growling tone, which is awesome for fingerstyle and blues stuff, and being a smaller body, it's super comfy to play. It's perfect for the couch, but it'd look pretty good on stage too.
