1930s Supertone (Harmony) Singing Cowboys Rubber Bridge Electrified Parlor guitar

This was originally a consignor's guitar intended for the open market, but a buddy of mine decided he was hunting-up another rubber-bridge parlor guitar, so this got fit into that track instead. It's a nice old '30s or early '40s Supertone "Singing Cowboys" stencil guitar and was made by Harmony in Chicago. The red accents along with the cream stencils on a metallic-grey background really pop and give it a great look.

Per the usual for these little Harmony boxes, the body is solid birch throughout, the neck is poplar, and the board is painted maple. This one has its original tailpiece but said tailpiece was painted black. I swapped the (funky) tuners on it out for aged-finish Gotoh repros and fit them with simple black buttons to match. The nut is new and bone and, of course, the rubber bridge is not original to it, too!

As far as work goes, it got a neck reset, fret level/dress, side dots, pickup fitting at the end of the fretboard, the rubber bridge mod, a wiring harness fit with the knob near the coffee-cup cowboy, some seam repairs, brace repairs, cleaning, and setup work. Is it fantastic? Well, I think so!

The pickup is an Alnico-magnet lipstick-style one from Korea.
