STRATOTONE - HARMONY
circa 1962

Silvertone 1423 - Harmony Jupiter 2 DeArmond pickups, black sparkle finish, made in Chicago circa 1962This is an early 1960's Silvertone made by Harmony of Chicago. The Jupiter 1423 is the top of Harmony's Stratotone line. The body style is similar to a Les Paul. It has DeArmond pickups, beautiful mother-of-pearl block inlays on the neck, a black finish speckled with rich gold color and the "Blender" control which regulates the bass and treble pickups. The fast action feels good on the fingers. This guitar features a set list on its back from perhaps a rocking gig in its long and interesting history. Listen to the stories this guitar can tell you with its sweet tone. Other than some very little wear on top of the headstock, this guitar looks really good, plays beautifully and sounds excellent. It comes with a good quality gig bag.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

PICKUPS:Description from VintageSilvertones.com
Two DeArmonds that give a great surf or heavy rock sound but could work for a varity of styles. Neck (bass) pickup is very strong, rich, and loud with a bite. Bridge (treble) pickup is very twangy and loud with a smooth bite. Overall, the pickups work and sound excellent. Both together are very jazzy sounding. Individual volume and tone controls for both pickups along with the Blender control and three position pickup selector switch. All electronics work properly.
