I've seen similar looking guitars in "antique" shops (more like junk shops) that were found in an attic or basement while cleaning out an old house. Whoever owned that guitar, it looks like they enjoyed playing it by the wear on the fretboard. The pickguard on that guitar doesn't look original to me, but I'm not an expert. The Airline had that plain squared off headstock as opposed to more decorative headstocks made by the other brands. I agree it looks like an old Harmony, Stella, or Kay guitar who made guitars for Sears under the Silvertone brand, but it looks very similar to an Airline brand that was made for Montgomery Ward by Harmony, Kay, and Valco. I know it's a longshot, since this forum is mostly about electrics, but appreciate any insight you all can give me. If it may be worth more, I'd point him to to request an appraisal, but that will cost him $35.

I'd like to make sure it's not something more significant, or else he should be asking for more than that. I said that even as a no-name, the original parts (especially the bridge and bakelite pickguard) would bring good money on eBay, and that a "sum of the parts" to me says the guitar is worth at least $200. I forgot to get a picture of the butt end of the guitar, but the trapeze tail is the two-prong style, not coming together in one piece.Īpart from identifying it, he wants to know what it's worth. Binding is intact and not overly cracked, and all the parts look to be original. The guitar is in great shape, though it has a pretty good bow in the neck (nothing that would affect acoustic/chord playing, but you wouldn't want it for solos). There are no markings I can find, either on the outside or inside, though I didn't have a mirror to check under the top. I told him I'd take a look at it (to see if it was something special) and turns out it is a no-brand model, but has (to me) all the hallmarks of a 1940's era box.

Please ask if it is still available before purchasing. It is possible that it has just been sold. This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. Additional photos can also be made available. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well."

Pickups: 3x Airline Argyle Gold Foil single thomann coil This modern rendition of the late fifties Harmony H78 offers all the “quirkiness” of the original with the improvement of adding the center block and a current interpretation of the pickups. True in almost every detail to the original, "upgraded" features include the new Gold Foil Argyle pickups, a modern roller bridge for tuning stability, a center block for Bigsby stability and feedback suppression.” “This tribute to the 1960's Airline H77/78 - which at the time was also available under the brands of Harmony and Silvertone - covers all the best parts of the originals, but kicks it up a notch. This guitar is in near mint condition showing little playing time.
