I have a H1227, with Dean Marley, sounds sweet and stays tuned. - Cthulhu - 2011-01-31

I have an H1227 (1498H1227) that is a 6 string archtop and not a 12 string..It has F-50-NK in the secondary number. It has not been modified to make it a 6 string - Paul Cioe - 2016-06-26
I picked up an SR (Sears Roebuck) H1227 a few years back. It sounds great and has nice low action. The neck is VERY chunky, but I love it. Thanks to this great site, I now know it's all solid! - Diane - 2017-05-22
I have a 319-H12272000 that my parents gave me for Christmas probably in the 70"s. I'm thinking of selling it, any ideas as to what I should price it at. It's in great condition except I wore a thumb ring back then and scrapped of the finished on the back on the neck.
Thanks for your help. - Diane - 2017-05-22

I own one of these, I am also a luthier. They are not solid wood as stated. They have a birch ply top with black painted plywood back and sides. In one of the pics provided above by this site you can even see all 3 layers of the back ply.
