Description Exact Year: 1956
1956 Silvertone Thin Twin Model 1381. So named for the dual single coil lipstick tubes. Also known as the Jimmy Reed. The only wear I found on this is a small chip on the headstock. The paint on the headstock and pick guard are flawless. See the pictures and judge for yourself. Sometime in its life the bottom strap post was moved. Otherwise this is in excellent condition as if it sat in a closet for the last 60 years. Plays and sounds great. I believe the case is original as well as it has a leather handle and small strap on the back (which is now detached.) Hate to part with it but found an old car I’d rather have and need a little cash.For overseas buyers, it is expensive to ship. Customs/taxes aren’t included in the price and are your responsibility. I don’t know the fees in your country or if it can be shipped there from the US.For shipping I’ll loosen the strings, bubble wrap the neck and headstock, and ship in the case enclosed in a cardboard box.
