DISC Silvertone 955CE Electro Acoustic Guitar, Black

Full Description

Return of a Classic

The original Silvertone 955 Acoustic Guitar was originally for the Canadian market, setting itself up as a middle ground for guitarists with its more classic dreadnought size and shape. The 955 produced a great sound for both picking and strumming ideal for multiple styles and genres. The Silvertone 955 Reissue will allow for another generation to pick up and play this adaptable, great sounding guitar with a classic tone.

Throwback Design

The 955 has a timeless design, and its traditional dreadnought body is one that has stood the test of time as practical with a balanced sound. The centre block inlays have been kept to ensure the history of the guitar is still present. The original 955 was a relatively rare guitar, so the reissue brings a whole new generation to its modern looks, yet it still retains Silvertone’s sought after, vintage sound.

Updated, Refined Features

As effective as the Silvertone 955 acoustic guitars were in the period, the woods used and the production numbers meant that it is rare to find one that has physically stood the test of time. The Reissue has resolved this by updating the woods to an Engelmann Spruce top, with Mahogany sides for practicality and an enhanced sound. Also present is a two way, reinforced truss rod, so the neck stays straight for longer and can be easily adjusted to your requirements. The 955's new adjustments and refinements make it ideal for developing your skills on.

Stage Ready Electronics

The 955CE features a sophisticated Fishman Clearwave 60 preamp system. It offers maximum control, performance and quality in a compact package. The built-in tuner with LED display allows for conveneint tuning anywhere.
