In order to make the show that night, he simply drove out to Sears and bought this guitar. Feel free to get in touch if you want more info." (Paul Hostetter 2013 at https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_607587 "This Silvertone guitar is a non-stock creation. It is possible that it was cobbled together by adding a 12-string headstock to a Harmony-built Silvertone 1427 body (with the metal Silvertone logo transferred from the stock six-string headstock), but Sears never made *any* electric 12-strings available as a stock item (and acoustic 12-strings did not appear at Sears until 1967). The last catalog appearance of this model was Spring/Summer 1961. As for the build date of this instrument, there should be a date stamp as well as a serial/model number visible inside the body."
