1965 Silvertone 604 (Harmony H929) Parlor Guitar

Overview: Hey, it's an H929 -- but in Sears Silvertone livery, which means (in this case) it gets simpler stencils on the fretboard but an extra pinstripe near the faux-binding at the edge of the top. This is a solid-birch-body, ladder-braced, cute little parlor guitar and has a midsy, direct sort-of sound that really suits fingerpickers who want something cozy and retro for the couch.


Repairs included: Ancel gave it a neck reset, level/dress of the frets, fit a new rosewood bridge (this had a bolted-on "tieblock" bridge to begin-with), new saddle, new pins, cleaning, and setup work. It's playing spot-on and is ready to go.
