At 7.2 lbs., this example shows honest wear consistent with its age — some nicks, dings, and finish checking on the body — very good vintage condition for a nearly 60-year-old guitar. It comes with a non-original gigbag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck carries a comfortable C-shape profile (.800\" at the 1st fret, .850\" at the 12th), bolted to the body for classic mid-'60s feel. A rosewood fretboard with white dot inlays, a 12\" radius, 20 frets, and a 24.5\" scale length keeps things vintage-correct and easy to play, backed by a wide 1.726\" aluminum nut and a 4-ply tortoise pickguard. The black headstock carries 6-in-line bar tuners, while a Silvertone\/Sears 2-screw tremolo in nickel\/chrome hardware delivers that classic period-correct wobble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA pair of lipstick-tube single-coil pickups gives this Hornet its bright, jangly, unmistakably vintage voice — the same lo-fi charm that made these Sears-era guitars a favorite for surf, garage, and early rock and roll — controlled through dual volume, dual tone, and a 3-way switch for real tonal flexibility. Whether you're a collector after an authentic '60s Silvertone, a player chasing vintage lipstick-pickup tone for surf and garage rock, or someone drawn to guitar history and the Sears catalog era, this Hornet delivers. This Red Sunburst 1966 Silvertone 1452 Hornet includes a non-original gigbag. Order today from Brian's Guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eQuestions about this guitar?
