Here is a selection of items you could get from the Sears catalog, once upon a time.

Sears dropped Silvertone as a brand in 1972, but Samick (Korea) bought the name in 2001 and started a new line of instruments, including some reissues of the old models.


Here is my new guitar workbench, gratis, courtesy of Home Depot for me to review.

"THE SLAB"

I added the drawers myself, and the side bins, to make a real nice piece of furniture. I pulled the drawers out of an old desk someone was throwing away last summer and tossed them in the attic for someday. Well, someday came - it pays not to be too proud on trash day - go price drawers, they're expensive. I made new matching fronts from a piece of floor molding. I also added the little shelves, vise, and power strip. The old towel makes a nice work surface for guitars. Of course, this bench is rated for 3000 pounds of abuse, but this one will never see that. Thanks, Home Depot!
