1960s Silvertone (Harmony) S1210 000-Size Guitar

Overview: This 000-size, tailpieced, Harmony-made Silvertone guitar model is always popular when it's in the shop. They have a woody, barky, country-blues sort-of sound that ticks a lot of boxes for the fingerpicking players up here.

Interesting features: The redburst finish over the solid birch body looks great! The painted-on trim is, perhaps, the second best part. This one is very clean for its age as well, and so everything still "glows" on it rather than looking beat-down.

Repairs included: I've worked on so many of this same model over the years that it was a pleasure to let Jose go loose on all aspects of this repair. He reset the neck, leveled and dressed the frets, added side dots, fit a parts-bin bridge and gave it a new saddle, cleaned it up, and set it up. It's a spot-on player and is ready to go.

Condition notes: It's pretty clean but does show minor wear here and there via light scratching and edge-wear. It's all-original save the parts-bin, 1930s, Kay-made bridge that was modified to suit it.

It comes with: This one has some sort of a case with it, but it's nothing to write home about.
