1964 Airline (Harmony H7048) Parlor Guitar

This is a local customer's guitar that she had when she was a kid. It's like a Harmony H929 Stella model but with different branding and, originally, a bolted-on "tie block"-style bridge. Between Jose and myself, it's gotten a neck reset, new bridge, saddle, and pins fit, a level/dress of the frets, side dots, and setup work done.

It's now a nice player and the pin-bridge setup (rather than tailpiece setup) on this style of guitar mellows out its sound into a woody, chunky voice rather than a poppy, woody voice. These are solid birch throughout the body, ladder-braced, have an ebonized maple fretboard, and poplar neck. They're short (24 1/8") scale.
