This is a 1964 (circa), Silvertone solid body, electric, guitar made by Harmony of Chicago. It's has a shaded walnut/tobaccoburst finish with two hot, DeArmond pickups. The guitar is 100% original. It has the usual scatches and nicks from a forty year old guitar. There is some very minor wear in the finish along the edge of the guitar body and a small bit on the headstock. This guitar plays and looks really great so both collectors and players will enjoy it. The neck pickup is very rich and full sounding. The bridge pickup has a serious surf-country twang. Both are very strong. The neck is straight and all the electronics work properly. This guitar includes an original period case but is not the one that came with the guitar. It's a more deluxe, slightly larger, model but two of the hinges have broken off from the case.
