Thanks!I did this because I was trying to help Randy at Silvertone World Solve The Mystery at Silvertone World as to what model this guitar is(it wasn't listed in any info online) so I found this ad so that he could ad it to the database.

Trooth. I'd swear back in probably '79 or '80 I had slept with the Christmas Wish Book open to one of several Star Wars pages on numerous occasions. Proverbial kiddy pronz in action.

I found a page for 1971 so I posted it above to keep the pages in order.

So Sears is responsible for all of those models! One of those 2-tone blue and white acoustics sold just yesterday. A guy on DC CL is selling a Chris Isaak looking electric for $550. GFS pups though.
