<p>[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 2133417, member: 4438"]Thanks, everyone, for your responses. I appreciate it. As indicated, the seller put electric guitar strings on it, and my son hasn't yet swapped out the strings yet. Plus, the non-original bridge is thicker than one would expect (but it's not glued on, and can be swapped out easily). That being said, he played it yesterday, and it sounded good. It seems to be constructed of solid wood, and not of a laminate. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I try to post any higher resolution photos, the photos are considered too large to upload. It's entirely possible that someone put some cleaner or polisher on the neck, and rubbed off the logo. He has a vintage Harmony guitar with a neck that looks similar, and Harmony made some Silvertones. The seller of this guitar wasn't even a musician, so he really had no specific information for my son about this guitar.</p><p><br /></p><p>My son is still in high school, and enjoys playing classic country and rock, so he enjoys the sound of older instruments. He has even been putting the old-style cords on his vintage guitars as straps, such as shown on Merle Haggard's "Same Train A Different Time" album, for the vintage look when he's playing older songs (although, he says, they aren't as comfortable). He has modern acoustic and electric guitars, but he enjoys finding older instruments as well, and fixing them up as needed. It's great seeing him working at my husband's work bench in the garage instead of playing video games. </p><p><img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-8e25iavqdi/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/39373/38609/same-train-a-different-time-album-cover-sticker__02218.1539892351.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
