We take any brand that we take on very seriously and for the money these guitars are killer ! They look, play and sound like the old ones but unlike those they play in tune, more stable tuning wise and have great hardware ! These are out of the box and put on a leather hanger as to not burn into the finish in any way ! We are a dealer for Silvertone and we intend on keeping these in stock so the one you see may not be the one you get but it will be in this like new floor model condition !
