Silvertone Model 1323 Model Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar, made by Danelectro (1958), made in Neptune, NJ, bronze lacquer finish, masonite and pine body, poplar neck with rosewood fingerboard, black hard shell case.
A nice early 1958 example of the classic 1950's Danelectro Silvertone U-2. With two of the celebrated "lipstick" pickups and a concentric tone-and-volume control rig this is a great sounding guitar, and with its unique bronze livery a very sharp looking as well.
Overall length is 38 3/4 in. (98.4 cm.), 13 1/4 in. (33.7 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 11/16 in. (4.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.). This old Danno has its share of dings and chips but the only alteration is the original Masonite backplate has gone missing and been replaced with a similar piece of aluminum. The finish on the back of the neck is worn down to the clearcoat in the lower positions. A very good player with the expected great Danelectro sound. Overall Very Good + Condition.
