The finish shows some small dings and dents and there are a few minor modifications. Overall this is a nicely preserved and original guitar.
(4.9 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. (40 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 15/16 in. This particular example was made in 1966 (the pickups are dated the February of that year) and is a nice example of one of Harmony's best guitars, a garage band classic in both sound and style. It is also a great-sounding, very versatile instrument with a large sonic palette The three on-off switches allow all possible pickup combinations, and each unit has its own volume and tone control as well.
With three DeArmond "Indox" pickups, multiple binding on the body and neck, plus a genuine Bigsby tailpiece, this is a fairly deluxe guitar - especially for Sears, retailing in 1966 at almost $200. It was made (like many Sears instruments) by the Harmony Company in Chicago as a single-cutaway variation on their own H-75 through H-77 models. This relatively flashy thinline hollow-body guitar was the top-of-the-line model from Sears, Roebuck & Co. Silvertone Model 1454 Model Thinline Hollow Body Electric Guitar, made by Harmony (1966), made in Chicago, red sunburst lacquer finish, laminated maple body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.
