love the big paddle headstocks on these guitars |
Welcome to Your Grandpa's Guitar. A blog dedicated to the guitars our grandparents may have owned. I hope to emphasize depression era instruments with an even greater emphasis on the so called working mans guitar. Guitars that were made and/or distributed by such companies as Regal, Sears and Roebuck(i.e. Supertone), Maybell/Slingerland, Tonk Brothers, Kay, Harmony and more. I hope you enjoy!!

Harmony Sovereign H1265
Here is another Baxendale rebuild. This guitar is as funky and wonderful as they come. It was only made for 2 years and eventually replaced by the h1266 which has symmetrical pickguards. You wouldn't believe the top of this guitar when I got it compared to what it looks like now. There was glue everywhere in a failed attempt to keep those honkin' pickguards on. Somehow Scott got it all cleaned up and the pickguards secured. Lovely tone and playability. Would be hard to find another instrument with a better look and vibe.
