Greg's Guitars Atlanta brings yet another cool, collectible,rare vintage guitar to the table, The Sears brand guitar sold in the 60's, built by Harmony. Branded both by Harmony as the H-49.and as a Silvertone 1423 "Jupiter" model. These killer guitars are very similar in body shape to a Les Paul but with a semi-hollow body... It's incredibly light. This one weighs in at an even 5 pounds. The "Jupiter" is remarkably versatile with a great sound. It features two vintage and original DeArmond� pick-ups built by "Rowe Industries", volume/tone for each pick-up and a three position selector. These are dated 1962.by the pot codes. Very little fret wear, open back original tuners, Nice medium sized neck, not a baseball bat nor is it to slim. The nut width is 1 and � inches, rosewood adjustable bridge and tailpiece. Mother of pearl block inlays and rosewood fingerboard. This Guitar comes with a period correct possibly original yellow lined chip style hard case as well. There's also the sweet fifth knob...A rare "BLENDER" switch. This special control is activated when both pick-ups are in the middle position on the 3-way switch. The "BLENDER" knob gradually shifts the weight between the pick-ups. The vintage 1962 Silvertone "Jupiter" has an extremely wide range with the "Blender Circuit". It packs punch for such a small guitar, full of tonal options for recording or playing out with the band. And what is a �blender� switch? It�s like having a wah-wah knob when the two pickups are engaged. It has at least a couple of uses. One is as a standard wah-wah type sound. Play a note while wrapping your pinky around the volume or tone knob, spin it back and forth and you have a classic wah type sound or, set it wherever you like in its tonal sweep and you have a stunning variety of tones from the two pickups blended.
