I've been collecting and trading vintage stuff for quite a while now, but I am having difficulty identifing a Silvertone hollow body. I now that it's from the early fifties but I don't know the model name and can't find this guitar in any reference books. Here is it's descrption: Wide & deep single cutaway hollow body with black finish, two pickups(the same as forties Gibsons- pre P-90), white pickgaurd with Silvertone "S" in black, four control knobs, selector switch and yes, aluminum binding around top and back. It also has mother of pearl block inlays and a bound neck. The serial/ model numbers are stamped and visable through the F-holes but have faded over time all that I can make out is 1075???.
I asume that this one was manufactured by Kay for Sears in the early to mid fifties. Can any one tell me more about this guitar?
