    Local Pickup only. Can pickup in Astoria, NYC or Asbury Park, NJ!
    It's a 1959 Silvertone 1429L archtop, first year of production. The guitar is 55+ years old and in amazing shape. All original, I replaced the bridge but the original will also come with it, as well as the original case which is a little rough around the edges.  It has 3 DeArmond silver foil pickups with independent volume/tone and selectors which all work as expected, bound neck/body that is in very good shape, working truss rod, short 24.25 scale and made in the USA.
    Only issues are just a few finish nicks and scratches but nothing major. I have a 60's Harmony H78 with a bigsby that I use more often(because of the bigsby) so I've decide to part ways with this one. These are really incredible values considering a similar year Gretsch or Gibson would go for 2 or 3x the price.  It really is an awesome guitar and a great deal considering the condition, case, two bridges, original tuners in good shape, no headstock cracks, no jack cracks and all original except for the strings :).
