  I learn to play on one of those roy smeck model 1959 or 60 but the one I owned was kind of painted on top in a greenish opaque color and I've been looking all over and still I can't find it in any catalogs. Mine was bought at Eaton store by catalog in Canada for 135.00 dollars. If anyone knows something about it let me know. thanks to you.
