Sears Silvertone ready for a new home
This circa 1973 Sears Silvertone by Harmony MIJ acoustic guitar has been brought back to good playing form and is ready for a new home. We cured her bellyache, fixed the cracked bridge, reattached three braces, hand crafted a new compensated bone saddle and performed the legendary Southeast Setup. She’s ready for another fifty years of beautiful music. Spruce top, Mahogany sides, back and neck, Rosewood bridge.
