1972 Harmony H6560 Sovereign Jumbo Guitar

Don't let it fool you -- this is a Harmony H1260 Sovereign with a different model number and a thinner (front to back) neck profile. It's still the same jumbo-sized, solid spruce over solid mahogany, ladder-braced, wide-waisted guitar that you know and love. It has a big, boomy, airy sound that's reminiscent of a Gibson J-45 or J-50 from the '60s but with a bit more air and a bit less chunk in the top-end and a plainer, open-sounding bass.

This particular instrument has seen some rough patches in its lifetime but after work it's playing spot-on fast and looks respectable.

Condition notes: there are some repaired hairline cracks to the sides near the lower-bout/back seams. There's finish flake-off all over the sides. There's tons of scratches, scuffs, etc. throughout the finish but especially on the back. The bridge was "reglued" at one point with the help of 3 bolts. Those are removed and the job "touched-up" as needed. Still... there's discoloration and finish muck-up near the bridge.  There's a repaired hairline crack on the top-bass-lower-bout. Everything on the guitar appears to be original, though my saddle (bone) is new. The fretboard extension dips away from the rest of the board over the body just a bit but this won't be an issue for someone unless they're regularly playing above the 17th fret all the time...

It comes with: a funky junky old chip case.
