  My Father has this model. He has had it since the 50's. He use to love this guitar. Many stories were shared at the kitchen table in relation to parties and frequent gatherings.
  Over the years this guitar without a case was damage from high humidity damage from the climate conditions of Eastern Canada. Some day I hope to restore this for him so he could once again cherish the tones.
  Thanks for this site. Chris Slaney - Alberta, Canada

  I have this model for a few years now. It has been played a lot in it's life. It was once a G.I. guitar complete with a bald eagle decal (removed now). I have restored it as a player. It really works well for dropped bari style tunings and slide guitar, maybe because of the long scale (close to 26"). Unmatched for it's special feel and tone!

  Sam, a 26" scale sounds very unusual ! I have the Silvertone version of the same guitar, and the scale is the usual Harmony scale, 25 1/4" = 642 mm
