Here is a nice find - a 1950's or early 1960's Harmony Stratone that was sold through the Alden Department stores. The devilish headstock logo on these is often misrepresented as being an "Airline" but it was the logo used by "Alden" stores. These flat "Hershey bar" pickups are one of my favorite vintage pickups ever. This should be a great bare bones vintage guitar. Don't expect the necks on these old Chicgo made electrics to be smooth or fast playing - and the frets are tiny - but that is all part of the charm. - JC

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL READERS
I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!
Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
