Vintage Archtop in Aurora, CO for $150 - cool faux tiger w/ orig picguard

This seller is offering one of the Chicago made f-hole archtops with the faux blonde tiger-stripe finish for a decent price.  These are not great players but they are definitely cool to have hanging around and this one appears to be in particularly nice shape with the original pickguard (which almost never survive intact).

Uber cool retro 50's faux tiger stripe guitar F hole archtop guitar in 'naner puddin' yellow. Still has it's original pick guard too. Not sure of the specific maker but these were labeled and sold as Montgomery Wards, Airline, Harmony, and Silvertone that I can name off the top of my head. Definitely nails that po' boy blues, country, rock n roll, rockabilly tone. On ebay I've seen them called Club Catalinas, or other. Slap a floating pickup on it and rock it a la Big Joe Williams. Or raise the strings and make a slide gitter out of it. Inside of the guitar is stamped L9949 58xx. The tuners are the 3 on a side Klusen Deluxe tuners just like the old Gibson LP Jr.'s.

Email w/ "harmony guitar" in the subject
