These are short (but full scale - 25" scale), light-weight guitars with full beefy 60s necks, single pickup, volume/tine controls, switchcraft jack, uncovered Acra-Tune bridge/tailpiece assembly. Body is hollow core with a solid block running through the middle, makes for a nice bright but dirty sound. ... Make: Alamo / Model: Fury / Finish: Red / Categories: Semi-Hollow (?) / Year: 1960s (Mid 60s) / Made In: United States"
  • Michael Wright. "Alamo Guitars and Amps: Remember the Alamo - Part II". Vingage Guitar. "The Fury series ?not wanting to make things too easy for us ?included both hollow-core and solidbody guitars, all called Fury, which were engraved in script down under the strings! These all had the shorter, more rounded Strat-style heads, with the by now typical elongated truss rod cover. ... The hollow-core Furies were called ??Hole Guitars because, as you might guess, they included, for the first time, a single f-hole on the lower bass bout. The Fury Standard was a stoptail axe with the Acra-Tune bridge assembly. ... These could be had in sunburst or cherry sunburst. The hollow Fury Tremolo was the same, except for the addition of a vibrato. This appeared to be a Japanese-made affair with a Bigsby-style spring. However, it doesn? look like most Japanese units, so it may indeed have been made for Alamo. ... The solidbody Furies basically followed an identical pattern, except, of course, with no f-holes, but as Standards and Tremolos, with single or double pickups and sunburst or cherry sunburst finishes. ... It should be noted that while the Fiesta guitar officially dropped from sight by the 1965 catalog, as can be seen in the example here, at least some Fiestas continued to be made in this later, more conservative style. ... for that matter, just before this same guitar became the Fury. ..."
