It was made in 1959 in Chicago, Illinois by the Harmony Company. This model is also known as a Harmony H49 Stratotone, but was branded a Silvertone to be sold at Sears \u0026amp; Roebuck. Silvertone Instruments were manufactured as the house brand for Sears \u0026amp; Roebuck. At the time, they could be purchased from a catalog and were much more competitively priced than Fender and Gibson. The affordability of these instruments made them an easy choice for many budding musicians of the era, including Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis body of this guitar is in excellent vintage condition. There are some signs of play wear and small finish scratches all over, but it is remarkably well preserved for an instrument of its vintage. There is a small paint chip on the top of the body towards the bottom of the instrument.  The side of the upper bout of the guitar has a small indentation, but there are no signs of finish or body cracks or any other damage. The pickguard has some scratches on it and a hairline crack between between the blender knob and the bass volume knob. The print on the pickguard is worn, but still legible. The back of the guitar has a vintage note taped to it with tidy cursive writing listing 3 songs and their key. We thought this was cool and are leaving it to the buyer's discretion if they want to remove it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is in very good vintage condition. There is chipped paint on the sides of the neck near the fretboard between the nut and 3rd fret. The fretboard has significant divots from play between the first and third frets. The rest of the fretboard is in excellent condition with only a few small scratches. Frets have been professionally leveled and the instrument plays well up and down the neck. Some of the frets still have small divots, but overall they are in good shape. Headstock has some paint chips on the edge and scratches on the face. One of the tuning pegs is slightly bent, but is fully functional. Finish on back of neck has a couple of small paint chips and minor finishes scratches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll electronics and hardware appear to be original. The hardware has a patina consistent with age. The potentiometer codes all date between the 7th week and 28th week of 1959. The floating bridge has a small chip on one of the corners. All hardware and electronics are fully functional. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes original chipboard case in excellent vintage condition. The interior has some wearing and tears and the edge of the case top is bent outwards. The structural integrity is there and all hardware is in good working order. Sale also includes vintage leather guitar strap. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-022cdf1d-7fff-fe30-e9bd-76ec1eb0936a\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;
