Description: 1960 Silvertone 1304 Wishbook U-1 Electric Guitar w/ Single Lipstick Pickup, Original Fiberboard Case For sale, we have this 1960 Silvertone 1304, also known in the Danelectro family tree as the U-1. This student model electric guitar was originally sold through Sears but was built alongside Danelectro guitars at the time, sharing much of their DNA. Though marketed as a beginner's instrument back in the day, the 1304 has become a prized vintage piece due to its minimalist yet highly effective design, solid craftsmanship, and unmistakable retro tone. This guitar features a short 23.5-inch scale length, making it a breeze to play for both beginners and seasoned players alike. The neck has a classic C profile with depths measuring between 0.850” - 0.920", offering comfort for extended playing sessions. The fretboard radius is a moderate 12 inches, combined with an 18-fret layout that suits everything from bluesy bends to fast fretting action. Its lightweight body at just 5 lbs 8 oz means it's perfect for gigs or just jamming for hours at home without strain. What sets the Silvertone 1304 apart is its single lipstick pickup. Perfectly positioned in the middle, it packs a punchy, jangly tone that's perfect for rock, blues, and country. This pickup is renowned for delivering that unmistakable "twang," yet with surprising warmth. It’s got some wear, as expected with a guitar of this age, but that only adds to the charm. This instrument has been professionally serviced in-house. The frets have been polished to a gleaming shine, the electronics are clean for a crackle-free experience, and the action is set to play low and easy. It also includes its original case, which has weathered the decades in style. If you’re looking for a piece of musical history with tons of character and a sound that’s stood the test of time, this Silvertone 1304 is ready to rock!
