crunchee Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Anybody got one of those old Harmony Buck Owens 'All American' guitars? The originals used to be 'cheap and cheerful', probably not anymore: Fender also had a Red/White (Silver, actually)/Blue sparkle Buck Owens Tele model too, though it had a basswood body and was MIJ. They used to have them for sale at Buck Owens' 'Crystal Palace' Restaurant in Bakersfield...currently, that website's under construction: https://www.buckowens.com/ This guitar doesn't have the 'Red, White, & Blue' color scheme, but maybe putting in some spare Christmas lights would fix that. First time I'd ever even seen anybody play one of those Rickenbacker 'Light Show' guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listed it on Reverb a few months ago. https://reverb.com/item/6077361-vintage-1969-1970-harmony-buck-owens-american-f-70-h-169-ryan-adams-nirvana-hee-haw Recording King just came out with a cheap imitation. The few RKs I've played have been much nicer than I expected. https://www.recordingking.com/p/roa-9-rwb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few RKs I've played have been much nicer than I expected. https://www.recordingking.com/p/roa-9-rwb Actually, I think the RK has the edge on quality, or at least on materials, with a solid Sitka spruce top. IIRC, the original Harmony-built 'All American' models were a typical Harmony/Silvertone budget acoustic guitar, and they made/sold thousands of them...and Buck supposedly got a royalty of $2.50 from each of 'em: http://www.silvertoneworld.net/acoustic/1219buckowens/1219_buck_owens_american.html The photo gallery attached to the Silvertone World 'All American' model reference is especially interesting, IMO...click on it for photos. As can be seen in the repair video, they weren't of the highest quality, which is why I said that they used to be 'cheap and cheerful'. Buck's original Red/White/Blue acoustic was actually built by Semie Moseley of Mosrite fame. As can be seen in the photo gallery, Buck used an 'electrified' All American model on Hee Haw as well.

chromium Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 A guy on the Gibson bass forum I visit had Mike Lull do up this Buck Owens inspired "Fenderbird". Pretty cool metalflake job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
