1966 Harmony H1213 Archtop Guitar

This press-arched, birch-bodied Harmony is a low-brow chord-chucker, for sure. It's got plenty of mids-snap and a decent amount of punch but it's not going to win the award for best-dressed or most-slick handling.

My guy Ancel did the work on this for a local customer and it got a level/dress of the frets, side dots added, a vintage bridge repurposed and fit to it, some seam repairs, cleaning, and setup.

I used to see a lot of these funky old "blues boxes" about the shop years ago but they're fewer and farther apart these days as the vintage market drives prices for everything up and up.
