Offered for sale is my beloved, closet classic 1955 Silvertone 1365 guitar. This is an unbelievable gem of an instrument, having spent most of it\'s life stored away from heat and light. It is the cleanest vintage Silvertone 1365 you will EVER find and you will NEVER find a vintage Silvertone with a neck as straight and true as this one. This guitar has a fresh setup and customized aftermarket roller bridge for precise intonation. The action is phenomenal, bends are easy, frets are excellent, plays like butter, and has a mellow, full-bodied jazzy tone and a brand new set of 11 gauge half-wound strings. The 1365 is a mid-1950s jumbo body (17\" wide) jazz box, commonly referred to as the \'Aristocrat\' or Barney Kessel model, that was basically Silvertone\'s answer to what Gretsch was doing. This is essentially the same guitar as the Kay Uptown, btw. Jazz guys loved them. Rockabilly cats loved them. If you are a jazz guitar player with extremely high standards, I would SERIOUSLY recommend that you consider this instrument. You will not find a more beautiful looking, sounding, or playing vintage guitar than this to showcase your abilities. This guitar feels amazing and it looks even better. Original black/grey speckled w/ white piping, red plush lined Silvertone case included. You won\'t find another Silvertone 1365 in this condition with this level of playability. This is a unique opportunity to treat yourself to a truly world-class vintage instrument that is not only a superb investment, but will ensure that you are the star of every show.

Terms and conditions: This guitar is extremely clean and playable, but it is not mint and I want to be very clear about that. I would prefer local pickup or delivery (to be negotiated) as I do not want any problems with shipping damage or bogus claims of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately has made the process of selling an expensive item an extremely risky proposition for sellers. Thus said, I am willing to ship and have experience packing and mailing fragile guitars, but you will need to send me a cashier\'s check if you want me to do so. Please note that the shipping cost is only an estimate and the actual charges will be adjusted, higher or lower, based on your location. And finally, I would prefer to ship via USPS. I know that it is slightly more expensive, but Fedex or UPS are significantly rougher on packages. Please wait for me to contact you at the end of the sale. If you pay first without waiting for me to send you the invoice, I will refund your payment and cancel the transaction. Thanks for offerding and good luck!
