1960s Airline (Harmony-made) Jumbo Guitar

This is a Harmony H1260 Sovereign under yet another name. This one was owned by Mr. Larry Lee Phillipson at one point, though, a country and rockabilly singer out of the '50s and '60s.

The bridge and pickguard and shoulder-mounted strap buttons are replacements but it's otherwise original. It's been beat-up a lot and has a variety of (now repaired, some repaired before) cracks and wear and tear throughout.

It got a neck reset, fret level/dress, hairline crack cleats/repairs to the top, a new saddle and some bridge clean-up/adjustments, and general setup work while it was here. It's now stable, has plenty of saddle height, and is ready to roll.
