Old Kraftsman Guitars were made by the KAY corporation of Chicago Illinois, using long production lead times and solid manufacturing allowed them to manufacture house brand product lines for ..WARDS.(Airline).SEARS.(Silvertone)...SPIEGAL.( Old Kraftsman) and other store chains..... when production was limited due to stock issues the KAY corporation made use of using Harmony non branded product runs, and production runs of other name branded vendors. Harmony being the largest second source .
While there are some collectable units of each brand..(the simularities of their respective product offerings is truly iconic). The pick guard in fact on a KAY Value Leader ( which I own a version of[k1962] ) shows remarkable simularities to many of the models by this corporation.. the 45 degree cut (obviously machine made and of the same dimensions across product lines shows American manufacturing of the day.
