A killer Harmony, representing a pivotal time for electric guitar manufacturing!
1954 was quite a pivotal time in electric guitar manufacturing, with the introduction of the Stratocaster as well as the Telecaster and Les Paul assuming dominance within the market. Harmony originally began production of guitars in the US during the 1930s. This particular example is a H62 Meteor, presenting in all-original condition. Featuring a maple body and spruce top, the H62 also boasts the often revered Brazilian Rosewood on the fingerboard.
P-13 pickups came equipped on this model at this time, which sound absolutely wonderful. Made by Gibson in Kalamazoo Michigan for Harmony, these absolutely sing. Tortoise shell pickguard and bakelite knobs are in great condition.
Cosmetic condition is great for its age, with only minor dings and checking throughout. The side had some separation, but has now been pulled in and connected to the top. Bridge pickup can be a tad crunchy when maxed out, however seems to function fairly well with a little volume roll off. Hardware is fully functional, and plays with a low action. Includes an Ess & Ess case dating to the early '50s. Ess & Ess manufactured cases for a wide variety of guitar manufactures, including Harmony.
