Silvertone 1449 RSFB2 Electric Guitar in Red Silver Flake Burst

The Silvertone 1449 RSFB2 brings one of the coolest ideas of the early 60s guitar boom into the modern era, pairing that unmistakable double cutaway silhouette with a striking Red Silver Flake Burst finish. Compact, lightweight and loaded with vintage-style Lipstick single coils, it delivers jangly cleans, gritty garage rock bite and everything in between, all with a slick, contemporary playing feel that makes it perfect for both beginners and seasoned players looking for retro flavour.

Inspired by the rare original 1449 model, this reissue keeps the spirit of the classic while updating the construction and hardware for rock-solid tuning stability and reliable performance on stage or in the studio. A comfortable C-shaped neck, modern 12.5 inch fingerboard radius and hemispherical fret ends mean chords, bends and fast runs all feel effortless, while the dual-action truss rod and convenient spoke wheel adjustment make it easy to dial in your ideal setup.

Whether you are chasing authentic 60s surf and beat tones, gritty indie riffs or sparkling rhythm sounds, the Silvertone Lipstick single coils serve up characterful, musical tones that sit beautifully in a mix. With a simple control layout and a three-way toggle switch, you can quickly move from glassy neck textures to cutting bridge bite or a sweet, chiming blend of both pickups.

If you love vintage style but want the reliability and playability of a modern instrument, the Silvertone 1449 RSFB2 is a stylish, great-sounding option that stands out visually and sonically.

Vintage Inspired, Modern Ready

The compact double cutaway body is based on the original 1962 silhouette, giving you that unmistakable retro look in a lightweight, easy-handling package. It sits comfortably whether you are standing or seated, making long rehearsals and gigs less tiring while still turning heads with its distinctive Red Silver Flake Burst finish.

Silvertone Lipstick Single Coils

Vintage-style Alnico Lipstick pickups capture the bright, open and slightly gritty character that made the original Silvertone models cult favourites. From jangly chords to raw garage rock riffs, these single coils respond dynamically to your picking, cleaning up beautifully with a lighter touch and growling when you dig in.

Comfortable C Neck with Hemispherical Fret Ends

The C-shaped neck profile and 12.5 inch fingerboard radius offer a familiar, comfortable feel that suits both chord work and lead playing. Hemispherical fret ends are carefully rounded for a smooth, snag-free feel up and down the neck, reducing hand fatigue and making slides and position shifts noticeably more comfortable.

Reliable Hardware and Easy Adjustment

Sealed tuners and a thru-body adjustable bridge provide stable tuning and consistent intonation, so you can focus on playing rather than constantly retuning. The dual-action truss rod with spoke wheel adjustment makes neck tweaks quick and precise, helping you maintain an optimal setup as conditions change.
