My sweet 1960s Silvertone Model 1304 (Sears Wish Book short scale Danelectro U-1) A vintage oldie with a very special place in the Danelectro history: A short scale Danelectro U1 sold only through the Sears & Roebuck Wish Book...the 19th and 20th century precursor to Amazon.com :D $950 cash only/no trades Will come with a correct size, brand new Gator gig bag. Heres a great description and the basic specs of the Silvertone 1304 that I got off the internet: People call this model the Silvertone U-1 because it looks like a Danelectro U-1 model (it even has the coke bottle headstock shape) but with Silvertone (Sears) badging. Its slightly different, though, in that it has a 23 1/2 short scale neck as opposed to the 25 normal Danelectro neck. The pickup is also less neck position and placed rather directly in the mid position. These changes yield a guitar with a very similar tone to a normal U-1 but with a relaxed left-hand feel and a little more sparkle and chime on the treble.
