I have a 60's electric. I believe it was from sears. Anyone have any info on this one? How do you upload a photo. Newbie.

I know about Silvertones. I have a guitar and an amp, both from the 60s. There is a very good website that has all the info, too. I'll share that after we see a pic!

I hope you had it serviced recently because ........... like .............. Sears is gone now.

If the guitar is the one in your avatar, it looks very similar to a Kent branded guitar I had as a child. By the time I got it in the late 90s it was probably 3rd or 4th hand. I believe they were made by Guyatone. I'm sure Guyatone and other Japanese companies were selling to Sears & Roebuck back in those days, but the guitars were most often branded Silvertone, being Sears' 'house brand' for instruments as of 1940.

Silvertone, name and guitar designs were bought by Samick from Korea a couple years ago.

They're being produced and sold again, but I don't know any dealers off hand.
