Kawai / Silvertone SEN-140 ca. 1968
This guitar is a very high end Kawai product although it is branded Silvertone indicating it was sold through Sears. It has a Mosrite inspired body with an Italian inspired headstock shape. The body has a quality burst shading with four ply binding and hand worked German carve (pre CVC). The pickguard is two ply tortoise with that great vintage depth that they don’t seem to be able to copy these days. The neck is laminate maple with a bound rosewood fretboard and MOT block fret markers that are almost as bright as real mother of pearl. It has tight and smooth closed back tuners. Condition is Excellent with a few light bumps on the front and some surface clear coat scratching on the back. There is some moderate paint loss along the lower edge of the body contour on the back. I guess it’s been played!! The chrome is clean and the electronics are quiet and strong with a variety of tones available between the three pups, tone knob and phase switch? It needs an intonation setup to be gigable but the quality and adjustment possibilities are all there. Priced with no case but if you want one for shipping we have some new, high quality, blem cases available for less than eBay prices. Just ask.
