Reply With QuoteIt looks like a Silvertone , sold by sears at that time , the action was so high on those things you could use it to shred cheese .. still a lot of players have fond memories of those 1st electric 6's , moi included .

I can't ID the guitar, but that is a cool picture! We're about the same age. I was born in '61.

Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?

Yes, I noticed I couldn't find the headstock the same. But if it is a Silvertone or one of the companies that made them for Silvertone, that guy would know.

Looks like it could be a Silvertone or a Teisco to me.

These two would be my guesses as well, Silvertone or Teisco.
70's plywood MIJ!
I had something similar as my first electric too.
