1971 Fender 1030 (Harmony H165) 000-Size Guitar
Overview: This is a Fender-branded version of the venerable Harmony H165, and being a '70s model, that means it (thankfully) has a truss rod and a less-clunky neck profile. It also comes with all of the Fender-style bling, too -- cool mustache bridge, tortoise pickguard, and Fender stenciling at the headstock. This one has been taken care-of, for the most part, and looks snazzy.
Repairs included: It previously had a neck reset (a good job). I recently leveled/dressed the frets, recut the saddle slot (Harmony never fit these quite in the right place to begin-with), fit a new bone saddle, and set it all up. It's ready to go and playing spot-on!

Condition notes: I haven't found any cracks. It's also original throughout except for the saddle and, presumably, the bridge pins. There's light scratching, scuffs, and wear here and there throughout but nothing that stands out much. The finish has some weather-checking, too.
It comes with: Sorry, no case.
