I always thought this guitar looked more like a Silvertone 1420 but CME says It’s a Harmony H46 so that’s what it’s listed as. Either way they’re basically the same guitar.

Since i’ve owned the guitar it has never left my home studio.
Only thing I’ve noticed that is not mentioned is the nut on the audio jack sometimes gets loose and needs to be tightened. Case has no key and one latch on case doesn’t close.
