Vintage 1964 Silvertone Model 658
Gorgeous Vintage Silvertone 658 Acoustic Archtop Guitar, made in the good ole USA in 1963-1965 by Kay for Sears & Roebuck.
This one is a survivor and just a beautiful example of this way-cool model. This Bad to the Bone Black & White Tuxedo Archtop is a very sweet guitar. It features the large white block markers and original big white pickguard, with a slick white pinstripe around the all black body. This beauty is in good overall condition with it’s original tuners, nut and brass frets and has the original bridge and pickguard.
The finish is original and has a few bumps and bruises that only time and good, honest use can add. This 658 has painted white binding and block position markers, which really stand out against the all black body, and sweet "Silvertone" headstock logo. This guitar has serious attitude, all wrapped up in a very classy package. The neck is classic Kay, slightly chunky with a 1-11/16″ nut width, and it plays great with very little relief.
The 658 was introduced in 1962, just as the 653 ‘Kentucky Blue’ was exiting the stage. Gotta keep a cool paint job guitar in the catalog, so here comes the 658, ready to rock with its jet black good looks, snazzy block fret markers and cool racing stripes. The paint job covered the 3-ply laminate, so the plywood could look less than perfect, but the appointments to the guitar made (and make) it a desirable model. Block neck markers changed to dot markers in 1966, so use this aid when dating your 658.
