w/OHSC

Now we have been super excited listing this one!! We just got in this beautiful and super rare 1956 Silvertone 1382L Thin Twin. 100% original, has a bit of players wear here and there, has had both pickups rewired and the head stock has a pressure crack that has been glued and sealed.  But a part from that its in amazing condition.

It really is something else. Recently serviced and set up with DÀddario XS 10-46's  Come Check it out  

Manufactured by Kay in Chicago but rebranded for distribution through the Sears catalog. Kay began producing this guitar in 1953 as the Thin Twin in a natural finish with a tiger stripe figured celluloid pickguard. Kay chose Jimmy Reed to market the guitar as his signature instrument.

The Thin Twin name came from the look of the two thin blade single coil pickups.Thick-bodied double-bound semi hollow body with cream plastic “Silvertone” headstock veneer and pickguard with shield. Flamed curly maple body with mahogany sides; two lipstick-style (“thin”) pickups; block fretboard markers; wooden bridge and trapeze tailpiece.
