Fender did not offer acoustic guitars with their name on the headstock until the early-1960s. These first guitars were generally easily distinguished by bolt-on necks, Strat-style headstocks and the "broomstick" brace which ran the length of the body. Late in the decade Harmony began supplying Fender with acoustics. These were generally standard Harmony models such as the H165 and Sovereign H1260 with some different bling such as pickguard, rosette and in the case of the Sovereign a burst finish.
