1939 Harmony Gene Autry Round-Up, Exc

In 1939, no entertainer in the world was more popular than Gene Autry. Movie star, radio star, recording star, Academy Award-nominated song writer, he set attendance records at rodeos and other personal appearances in four countries. Gene always preferred his sponsor's product, Wrigley's Doublemint Gum, to smoking. Autry made 635 recordings, including more than 300 songs written or co-written by him. His records sold more than 100 million copies and he has more than a dozen gold and platinum records, including the first record ever certified gold. Known as 'America's Favorite Singing Cowboy', he is the only entertainer to have five stars on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, one each for radio, records, film, television and live theatrical performance (including rodeo).

This guitar was every boy's dream (and more than a few girls', too we suspect!) Made by Harmony in the Fall of '39, this guitar features a small Jumbo-style body of Adirondack spruce and maple with a firestripe pickguard and a 14 fret neck with "Gene Autry" and a lariat stenciled up the fingerboard. Too cool. It has had the neck professionally reset and a new rosewood bridge made. The action is a little high up the neck but it still pumps out those cowboy chords just fine! This is a ladder-braced guitar, with a fine tone, and that flame is painted on the back and sides. It is in exceptional collecting condition. 2007 will be the centennial of Mr Autry's birth; beat the rush and buy it now, before it's too late at any price!

On consignment, no case.
