My baby is being re-released.
So one of my beasties, was an unlabeled number I'd picked up many moons ago as a beater guitar. It's the one on the right.
Looks like it was a Silvertone, and they are re-releaseing it, with a tremolo.
Kinda neat.

No label on it, no idea. The neck style is very similar to a Kay I just picked up, same style tuning pegs, string retainer bar, zero fret and binding with no side dots.

Yeah, the right hand one has DeArmond (or D something) stamped on the back of the pickguard.

Yep, the one on the left could be a Kay, but Kay guitars had various head shapes so it's hard to say. Anyway, she's beautiful !
