- Silvertone 1420l In Albuquerque Nm For $499
Here is a seller offering a very nice looking all original Silvertone 1420L at a decent price. This version is one of the most desirable models of the Harmony "Stratotone" line since it has the original "Hershey Bar" pickups that sound great. ...
- 1967-68 Kay Vanguard 3 Pickup Electric In Austin Tx For $299

- A Couple Kay Vanguards In Dallas Tx - $250 Each
The hershey bar pickups in these sound nice for slide (isn't that right, Paul). Note that the double pickup version also has a bound neck and vibrato tailpiece. TWO COOL 60'S KAY GUITARS! - $250 (DALLAS) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
