Just putting this out to see if there's any interest.
No logo on headstock but numbering confirms its made by Harmony Chicago
xxxH9415 - model
S47 - made in spring 1947 (WW2 era)
Should be all birch construction. Braz rosewood fretboard.
Real binding, faux flame maple side and back. FAT neck
Good:
All original except tuner buttons
Bad:
Needs a neck reset, or at least a setup to play.
crack at the back
Neck heel is lifting a bit. understandably, this is a 55 yr old guitar made with no truss rod.
intonation is slightly off
but the tone is unreal - percussive, woody, bluesy, can take on modern flatops. +10 to your overall vintage awesomeness
Asking $700 only. OBO
