The "Hershey Bar" Tone: This 1950s Silvertone Stratotone Newport Is a Total Sleeper!

Explore the unique "Colorama" finish and historic "Hershey Bar" tone of this 195H-42/2 Newport, manufactured by Harmony in Chicago, is one of the most distinctive instruments of the 1950s. 🔗 See the full listing here: https://tidd.ly/4kLZqnt Featuring the experimental "Harmometal" trim—a combination of metal and rubber—it was designed to look as futuristic as the cars and appliances of the era. This "Sleeper" status comes from its unique construction; unlike many department store guitars, the Newport features a through-body neck, providing surprising resonance and sustain for such a compact instrument. This specific listing highlights the sought-after "Hershey Bar" single-coil pickup made by DeArmond. These pickups are legendary in the vintage community for their wide, clear frequency response and their ability to get "hairy" and aggressive when played through a vintage tube amp. Combined with the "stacked" pot control setup—where volume and tone are manipulated on a single concentric knob—this guitar is a masterclass in minimalist, high-impact engineering. For players who value portability, historic Chicago soul, and a visual aesthetic that stands out on any stage, the Newport H-42/2 remains one of the best values in the vintage market today.
