Your Grandpa's Guitar

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!!

About Me

I have always loved the style, look and sound of the off brand/department store guitar. In a world of Gibson, Martin and fender they are the underdog that i always find myself rooting for.
