VINTAGE, RARE, MADE IN THE USA! 1965 Harmony “Holiday” model
1478, also sometimes labeled as the Harmony model H19, as well as the
Silvertone “Silhouette”. All original parts except for control harness electronics (replaced
2022), control knobs (replaced 2022), strings (replaced 2022), and upgraded
tuning machines. This was not a
guitar that sat in a closet for half a century! It was played, it was used,
possibly ABUSED, has acquired plenty of natural Mojo, battle scares, chips,
dings, dents, scuffs, all just cosmetic wear and tear. Any structural cracks have
been addressed, glued, repaired, and sparingly touched up with paint, stain,
and clear coat.
THIS IS A VINTAGE GUITAR OVER 50 YEARS OLD!
PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT IT TO PLAY LIKE A 2022 SQUIER STRATOCASTER FROM DOWN AT
GUITAR CENTER!
All of my guitars have been fully
tested and are functional. All of my guitars have been “set up” (neck
straightness adjusted when possible, fingerboard oil treated (if
rosewood/laurel/ebony), action set, pickup height optimized, intonation
checked) to MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES (as LOW as possible). Please note:
“setups” are not “one size fits all”. Your personal set up requirements might
be different from mine, so, additional adjustments may be needed to suit your
setup preferences. To protect the guitar from damage, the string tension will
be relieved before shipping per Reverb.com requirements. You'll need to tune
the guitar to pitch when it arrives. Let the instrument acclimate to your
environment! Differences in altitude and temperature from my shop to your
location have an effect on the instrument. You will NOT be able to pull this
instrument out of the shipping box and start playing it!
Also, for optimal sound and
playing ease, I advise buyers to put a new set of strings on the guitar, the
string brand and gauge of their preference. If your guitar has a Tremolo Bridge
DO NOT OVERTIGHT TREMOLO ARM WHEN YOU INSTALL THE ARM!!! YOU CAN DESTROY THE
TREMOLO ARM BLOCK!!! I suggest you watch some YouTube videos about installing
and using Tremolo Arms BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL AND USE A Tremolo Arm.
