Lariat - 1957 (Luke)
This is a Harmony made Lariat from the Spring of '57. A very clean, and less ornate example.
This scene goes under a few monikers, 'Round up', 'Stampede', 'Western Rex', and, or course 'Lariat'. Mine is a standard 35 & 3/4" scale length, and
was most likely sold through Montgomery Ward. The Deco style peghead print is a definate drawing feature. The position markers are a standard Harmony
feature found on nearly all Stella guitars of the same period.
