- Silvertone Maxwell.
This guitar is built like the Silvertone guitars sold by Sears in the 1960s, even down to the exact same wallpaper edging and masonite pickguard. I did a run of a couple dozen of these in an attempt to execute every conceivable combination of primary colors.- The guitar pictured here is owned by Alexander Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand. He picked it up while they were touring with Death Cab for Cutie in April 2006.
