Danelectro Longhorn Guitar (2/2)

"The Pumpkin"

Automotive acrylic lacquer is not as awful as nitrocellulose, it has much less propensity to simply self-destruct, and this guitar has held up pretty well. Stay far away from nitrocellulose, it is antique garbage.

Sometime around 2015, while I wasn't paying attention, Danelectro snuck this out. Mine is the original. In fact, I sent them a picture of it years ago, and probably gave them the idea.

Silvertone 1478 Guitar

This is a Harmony-made Sears Silvertone 1478. This body style was originally called the "Silhouette", and Harmony sold similar models under their own name. Later it became known as the "Bobkat". I can't find a serial number anywhere, and I'm not taking it apart to look for one, so I don't know the exact age of this guitar.
