Does anyone have any info on this guitar? I am thinking it is a 1960 because of the markings on the inside. I have google searched my brains out and have only found 1 guitar like this...Anywhere...A few people have told me this is an extremely rare guitar. Anyone know?

Your guitar was actually made by Harmony,based on their Stratotone model line.
Roy Smeck was a noted musician who had an endorsment deal with Harmony. Several harmony instruments bare his name.
The two pickup version of this guitar is not that uncommon,but the three pickup model is quite rare, and from what I've read never appeared in any Wards catalog. Based on the two pickup model,these were available early to mid 1960s. Nice find. Yours appears to be very good condition.
