Manufactured by the Harmony Company between 1959 and 1962, the Silvertone 1423 Electric Guitar was known as the Jupiter H49 from the Stratotone Series. Often referred to as a ''Jupiter'', this reissued solid body electric guitar has a unique blender control set-up. Each pick-up has a separate volume and tone control and there is a ''blend'' control knob which alters the balance between both pickups when the selector switch is in the middle position.
The Silvertone 1423 has a pair of Custom Duncan-Designed humbucker pick-ups manufactured to capture and recreate the tone from the original series. With a fully adjustable bridge, providing accurate intonation, and a die-cast tailpiece there's been a significant upgrade on the hardware from the original series bringing this guitar right into the 21st century.
This reissued guitar bucks the trend of the original by featuring a comfortable (and consistent) C-shaped neck with precise fret work. A two-way truss rod provides dependable neck adjustments to suit all playing styles.
The SubZero Tube-20R offers great retro looks with a sound to match. The two Electro Harmonix 6BQ5 tubes give this amp a classic distinctive chiming, articulate treble sound. These are matched perfectly with the three 12AX7 valves, which break up quickly and clearly, giving a great vintage crunch. The Spring Reverb adds an additional shimmer to the amp's classic jangle, valve crunch and warmth.
The SubZero Tube-20R comes loaded with a Celestion Seventy 80 speaker, which offers a punchy, aggressive upper mid range, tightly controlled low end, and a subtly increased top end. In combination with the three band EQ, you'll be able to find the right sound for your guitar and musical style.
