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.

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.
