Used Silvertone U-1 NECK SWAP Vintage Electric Guitar Goldtop 6-String

This vintage Silvertone U-1 brings all the charm of mid-century American guitars, dressed in a striking Goldtop finish that instantly grabs attention. This one has a unique history: the neck appears to have possibly been swapped at some point with a refinished Danelectro U-1 neck, giving it a distinctive mix of Silvertone body character and classic Danelectro feel. It’s a lightweight, vibey instrument with that unmistakable single-lipstick-pickup tone these models are known for. This guitar comes with a period correct vintage hard case.

Players seek out U-1–style guitars for their jangly clarity, surprising punch, and raw attitude that works beautifully for garage rock, indie, blues, and lo-fi textures. The Danelectro-style neck adds even more of that familiar slipperiness and comfort, making this a cool hybrid piece for someone who appreciates vintage oddities and wants something with personality, history, and tone you can’t get from modern builds. The Goldtop refinish elevates the look while keeping the vintage soul intact.

This guitar has been tested in-store to make sure it’s fully playable and ready to inspire, and it comes with a hard case for added protection.
