1970 Harmony H1204 Sovereign Jet Set 000-Size Guitar

Tone: It's bright and midsy with decent punch and definitely suits use as a fingerpicker. If strumming, perhaps stick with a thinner/floppier pick for aggressive strumming. It has a nice, woody, plainspoken sound when flatpicked for lead/melody.

Feel: The neck is a little slimmer and faster than a '60s H1203-style guitar but it's still a medium C with fatter shoulders than other brands. It handles in the lap like most average 000-size guitars.

Interesting features: It has that cool pickguard, a high-contrast natural-finished rosette, moustache/eagle bridge shape, cool headstock veneer, and a sharp black finish.

Repairs included: It's had a neck reset (with bolt reinforcement) by myself and then Ancel did a level/dress of the frets, made a new fully-compensated rosewood saddle (to fill the large void where an adjustable saddle used to be), cleaned it up, set it up, and reglued the headstock veneer (partial).

Condition notes: It's all original and in good shape save for the new saddle and a variety of light finish flaws. It has some scratches on the back and patches of rubbed/more muted finish here and there from handling or storage. The headstock veneer has a crack in it. The tuners are mildly-fussy but work fine.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
