I've had one of the H19 Silhouettes for over a decade. I love this guitar.

Mine is natural finish, which you don't really see (very possibly refinished that way). I agree, it plays really well and it sounds great. The big, thick neck fits very comfortably. The pickups in it are Dearmonds, they seem like a cross between P90s and Filtertrons.

Mine never came with the trem bar (or 3 of the 4 tiny vol/tone knobs), but I can still do some vibrato with the arm stub when necessary. That entire tremolo/bridge contraption was made by Hagstrom, and despite being a bitch to adjust the saddles, it works great and stays in tune really well.

This guitar has also made me a sucker for anything with block fret markers.
That dog won't hunt, monsignor.

Go listen to your beard-nerd aluminum guitar shit. See if I care.

While not solid-body guitars, I've got 2 Harmony semi-hollows that I'm never giving-up:
1964-ish, 3-pickup H78 with a Bigsby
and
1961-ish Rocket that I bought and re-finished in silver sparkle.

Both have the DeArmond Pickups, which kick ass. The tone might not be for everyone, but I think it's sweet through my Fender amps. The old hollow bodies feed-back great. The H78 plays well with .011's, and the Rocket plays pretty good after several adjustments and a intonating nut.

Totally agree- The Harmony hollowbodys are great. The H78 is kick ass....Right now I have an H64 like this one that I am digging:

It also has the dearmond pickups. With the bigsby it's sometimes a challenge to stay in tune, but that's a bigsby for ya. I find myself playing this guitar most of the time. Plus it only weighs like 5 pounds.
