My grandpa had one and I learned on it. I wish he handed it down to me but grandma gave it to one of her other relatives. My grandpa and his band (Herb, Joe and the Rambleairs) recorded two songs in Detroit back in the 60's. Her Journeys End and Hillside Breakdown.
@@cathytai Thought just the same, such a brutal "hammer-work" on this beautiful guitar is a very painful thing. Playing a wonderful Blues, that would be okay for me and as you said, slide and fingerpicking. That would be great. Best wishes!
We're never done with Ian, he's the man! That said, we're switching back and forth between the rest of the guys and having Ian demo guitars - the others will be back on the grind next week!
Don't strum that thing so hard! These guitars can sound so sweet and pure finger-picked or one-string played. I wanted to hear how it sounded (I have other Silvertone/Harmony models) not how much 'noise' it can make - and unfortunately the demo itself was just jarring. I KNOW these can sound better than that.
🤦🏼♂️….. I was given this exact Guitar and Amp along with a huge 6x10 silvertone amp when I was 13…… I wanted to play Metallica, Pantera, etc….. now I’m 39 and I play everything but Metallica, Pantera and I greatly regret my decision to trade these off…..
I actually tracked this down out of Florida. It is now in my guitar room.
Jay....you’re making this transition very difficult. Seriously, glad you like it and I hope it finds a good home.
This is a great story. Sounds like me in high school. I had a tiny little Silvertone practice amp. Seemed to sound good for old Zeppelin 😂

I started out on a $15.00 Stella. Then, my Mom got me a SilverTone just like the one you hold, same year. It was a nice little guitar.
When I was 16 in 66' and we had that amp + the larger one. Fun!!
Spencer Davis played the Harmony Stratotone version. You can see it on a few of their music videos.
One classic beauty!! 🙌🏻🎸
Nice that you left the norm trussrod cover on
My bud had one just like it in my fisrt band I was in when I was 15.case and all.that's awesome!!!
i couldn't care less how it sounds. it doesn't get any cooler than this.
That demo at the end was awful - these can sound really cool, but not banged like that. Try some lead, slide, finger-picking, even - Much better.

Glad to hear that, and understandable that you like to feature Ian too - it's your channel, after all! :-)
oh Norm, what were you thinking?
Heavens to Murgatroyd ....Very Ol Skool Kool ..
I have one in the original case.
very cool till the demo...for chrissakes
Such a cool set!
Any timeframe for getting the cream tees in stock?
Any time you pull that guitar out of the case everyone in the room has to say out loud "Norm".
nice price !
...what about the mojo...does it have mojo?

Totally agree. One of the worst demos I ve seen .
It’s a shame you didn't give it a good yanking, Jay !
I am picking one up today for 1000 cdn dollars. Seems fair. Amp not included.
