Description
The Silvertone 1449 Double-Cut is a solid-body electric guitar inspired by the classic 1962 “Amp in Case” Model 1448. This two-pickup design preserves its vintage charm while introducing significant performance upgrades for modern players. A solid mahogany body joins a soft C-shaped mahogany neck with a 24.75″ scale length creating comfortable playability. The rosewood fingerboard features a 12.5″ radius and Semi-Hemispherical frets for a faster smoother feel across the neck. Custom-wound Silvertone Lipstick single-coil pickups use vintage-correct Alnico 6 magnets to deliver classic jangly tones. The reverse-wound reverse-polarity neck pickup enables hum-cancelling operation when both pickups are selected while the bridge pickup has slightly higher output for balanced tone. One Volume and one Tone control provide straightforward adjustment alongside a three-way switch. An upgraded thru-body bridge uses independently adjustable solid brass saddles for precise intonation.
