"This is what all the cool kids had back in the day!" said CVE staff member Tommy upon taking a look at this catalog classic from the 1960s. Harmony in Chicago was tasked with producing many of these guitars under different names, the Silvertone line being made specifically for Sears & Roebuck. With a Fender-inspired off-set body, bright red finish and three pickups, it was one of the more deluxe models available at the time. Aside from a new nut, this one is nearly all-original condition, including its gold foil pickups and controls. Overall condition is excellent, and it plays and sounds fab!

Comes in its original chipboard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
