Harmony Silvertone Bobkat PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTS: Nice playable guitar. Comes with original case. Guitar is a 1965 model. We obtained it from the original owner. Missing 2 adjustment knobs from top of guitar and has some nicks in the finish, but still very nice looking. DENNY'S NOTES: Harmony's are great guitars when set up properly, and have tone to the bone. This is a Silvertone 1479 version of Harmony's H17 Bobkat. There were some nuance differences between Harmony branded and Silvertone branded Bobkats. For instance, this 1479 Bobkat's treble-bout pickguard is different than a Harmony branded H17 Bobkat's pickguard that extends into the bass bout. This 1479 also has a "tuneamatic" type bridge rather than the earlier non-compensated wood floating bridge, ....and has larger chrome capped speed knobs than the earlier / smaller "nuclear power plant" knobs. Compare this one with a S1477; Or this very cool Silvertone exclusive 3 pickup Sivertone S1488 Silhouette. |
