1963 Harmony Stella H141 000-Size Guitar

Overview: These woody-sounding, fairly-loud, student-grade Harmony boxes from the '50s and '60s are so cool when they're fixed and ready to roll. This one has all the relaxed, no-frills fun of one of the smaller H929 Stella models but, with the bigger body and longer scale, has more punch, cut, and volume. It actually makes a pretty excellent backup guitar for string-band use because its notes sit right in their own little lane and you can hear them pop-out. 

Interesting features: I love the 3 lines of "faux" binding painted on the top. The big, white, high-contrast pickguard is also cool. Also, lest we not forget -- the "redburst" finish, right? It suits the birch so well.

Repairs included: Jose gave it a neck reset, fret level/dress, new compensated bridge made for it, cleaning, and setup work done. It's playing bang-on and ready to go!

Condition notes: There's a fair amount of "light finish wear" throughout -- edge rubbing, a little weather-checking here and there, scratches, scuffs, and whatnot. Overall it looks pretty good for its years and status as a beginner's instrument, though! There is only one crack that I've found and it's in the middle of the top under the fretboard extension and so won't be an issue.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
