Harptone, best known for their line of musical instrument cases, sold their guitar manufacturing tooling to the Statler Brothers in 1974 or so. The Statler Brothers were planning to produce and distribute them as, "Diamond T" guitars, from their location in Staunton, VA, however after showing some of them at the NAMM show for music dealers, the product line did not significantly make it to the market place. Years later, on their popular TNN television show, they did not even play them.
I own the very same style and make that George H. made famous. It is nice and bright as a maple guitar should be. It doesn't ahve the bottom that a J-200 has but it is very chimey with big frets. It has a double truss rod which i thought was unusual. Does anyone have more info on this guitar.

the Standel was made by Harptone, known mainly as a case maker. the cool headstock is a major rercognizable feature. David Bowie played a jumbo shaped 12 string on the ziggy tour/film, and demo recordings. George Harrison played a few. I have a dreadnaught shaped 12 string with a Harptone logo and a standel logo visible under the paint. Good quality guitar with a solid top and and arched back (similar to Guild's). A thinline electric with the Harptone headstock just sold for over 1200 bucks...
