The 1950s were wide open, with a great variety of
acoustic guitars available from Sears over the years. Harmony (formerly owned by
Sears) and Kay were the main suppliers of the Silvertone branded guitars, and
made sure that everyone had a 'go-to' family of instruments.
Flattops, archtops, jumbo-, western-, and parlor-sized, a few classical, some
'cowboy' themed guitars, 'auto-styled' guitars... something to suit everybody's
taste, pocketbook and playing ability... ain't that what Silvertone's all about?
This page will lead you to various acoustic models
available in the 1950s. Because of the long 'life span' of the acoustic models,
some will spill into other decades. Enjoy!
