It is not such a great guitar and the effects sound like an old Atari video game. The idea that every kid in America is leafing through the Sears Catalog looking at the guitars and hitting mom up to buy one was irresistible to the makers of low price guitars. If anything, the original maker's "brand" was affected, but in those days, Sears was big and it was better to join them and provide "private label" builds. Sears purchased guitars from Danelectro, Kay, Harmony and others, built to their specs with features and finishes slightly different than the original maker with Silvertone silk-screened on the headstock.
Sears did not even put their name on the headstock on these.Īs far as helping or hurting the "brand", think of what the "brand" actually was. Sears was big and it was better to join them and provide "private label" builds. If anything, the original maker's "brand" was unaffected due to anonymity. I believe the Les Paul shaped Effector was made by Kay in the good ole USA, the other shapes by Cort.Īs far as helping or hurting the Cort brand, think of what the "brand" actually was. I have heard them variously referred to as Sears, Kay and Cort Effectors.
