1968 Harmony Stella H929 Tailpiece Parlor Guitar

Overview: This is a pretty clean example of the venerable H929 Stella parlor guitar. This model can be found all over the place in various states of decay but most of the time they play like garbage as they haven't had service in decades and they weren't really setup decently when they were made new, either. This one's had all the work done and it plays like a champ and has that classic, woody, chunky sound that these are known for.

Interesting features: Jose made a nice, new, maple bridge for it that fits right-in with the bright-white painted highlights. The stencils are all nice and bright and the finish and paintjob pop and are free from much of the fading and wear and tear these usually have.

Repairs included: Jose gave it a neck reset, fret level/dress, added side dots, made a new, compensated bridge, and set it all up.

Condition notes: It's pretty clean and original throughout except for the bridge and side dots. There are small scuffs and scratches here and there. Per the usual, the cheap original tuners are not amazing but they do hold just fine. Jose chose to under-string the string-ends at the tailpiece but it will work fine with them over or under.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
