Silvertone L9129

The Silvertone L9129 8111 tobaccoburst jumbo body acoustic guitar, like many of its counterparts, was manufactured in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Specifically, these guitars were produced by Harmony and Kay in Chicago, Illinois, for the Silvertone brand, which was sold through Sears. The jumbo body design, combined with the tobaccoburst finish, made these guitars visually striking and sonically rich, ideal for blues and folk musicians of the time.

These guitars were particularly valued for their large, resonant sound that suited stage performances, especially in genres like blues where a deep, full-bodied tone was desired. The production of these guitars typically spanned from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, with some models remaining in circulation until the early 1970s.
