1958 Silvertone-Kay 620 Jumbo acoustic in Austin TX for $300
This seller is offering a Silvertone 620 which is indeed a rare jumbo sized acoustic with all solid woods from the late 1950's. The big block inlays on the rosewood fretboard put this guitar well above the average vintage Silvertone acoustic out there. It even includes the original Kay-Silvertone chipboard case.
For sale is a nice original Silvertone 620 Jumbo acoustic guitar. These are extremely rare as they were only available for one year between 1958 and 1959. This is the upgraded 618, with big block fret markers.
Made in America by Kay with a steel reinforced, slim, hard maple neck, hand polished spruce and mahogany, distinctive celluloid binding on the sound hole and top and bottom edges, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Also has the original Kluson Deluxe tuners in good condition, like the ones Gibson used in the 50's. Has the engraved "Silvertone" logo on the headstock.
Includes the original case.
Guitar has some light finish cracks but the wood is still solid. All original except for a new bone saddle. Action is a bit high on the upper frets but fine for slide.
Richard Gere's 618 sold at auction last year for $875.
Asking $300.

- Silvertone Acoustic In Olathe Ks For $70
This seller is offering one of the basic Silvertone 14 fret acoustic guitars form the 1960's. This one has the block lettering (not script) so I think that makes it a mid 1960's model. Simple basic full size acoustic guitar approaching 50 years...
- Several Nice Acoustics In Joplin Mo For $175 - $200
This seller is offering a couple of nice looking acoustics and his prices are well within reason. That Airline Jumbo looks like it is a USA made Harmony - possibly a Sovereign or similar model. The Alvarez "Dove' is just beautiful and that Aria made...

Not many of these Silvertone jumbo style dreadnaughts have survived intact - to many camping trips I guess. But this one looks to be in good shape and the owner sounds like he took good care of the instrument. Nice attractive pickguard and tailpiece...
- 1940's Silvertone Concert Sized Acoustic - In Minnesota For $175
I really LOVE the old Silvertone logo's on these 1940's guitars - and these flat top concert series guitars are much more rare than the F-hole versions. The seller is coerrect in calling this a KAY - the layout of the neck dots gives that away....
