Silvertone Guitar

Vintage Silvertone 1320 archtop by Harmony (same as H51). Made in USA, 1951. Auditorium size 15-1/2 by aprox 3-1/2 deep. Spruce top, Maple back and sides with some birdseye in the back grain. Binding front and back. Kluson Deluxe single line tuners (some are a little stiff), but all are working. Famed Gibson P13 single coil pickup. V-neck. Stamped H54, and S51 made in USA inside the f-hole. I don't know alot about the History of this guitar. When I got it it was missing the knobs and some strings. I have done nothing but wipe the guitar off, put on new Martin strings, and added 2 replacement knobs. This guitar is in very good condition. It is now 60 years old. It does have the normal nicks, dings, and scratches that you would expect from a guitar of this age. The back binding has somewhat shrunk and is not laying down in some places, but is still tight. The front binding is in good shape. The pickup surround has a couple of cracks (it serves the purpose). Also the face of the headstock looks like it might have been refinished, or touched up at some time. There are 2 small cracks in the back. These cracks have been checked(small hole drilled at each end to stop crack from moving), and glued. They look to be very stable. Overall this is still a Very Sharp looking guitar. Heel is tight to body. Rosewood board and frets are in Great shape. Action is very good at less than 1/8" at the 12th fret, and 1/32" neck relief. Very easy to play. Unplugged, this guitar has that familiar Harmony archtop sound. Plug it in, and it will really sing the Blues with Huge Powerful Vintage Gibson sound. Will ship boxed in an old chipboard case, for protection.  IT"S A STEAL AT THIS PRICE !!!!!

Thanks for looking !!
