1970s Harmony Stella H929 Parlor Guitar

Overview: This batwing-pickguard H929 probably dates from around 1970. The date stamp inside is illegible, unfortunately. It has a loud, punchy voice that cuts nicely when laid-into with a flatpick and is responsive and bouncy when fingerpicked. These have an overall woody, somewhat boxy sound, though -- as is their due for being student-level guitars when made.  Their necks are on the bigger side, too, but boy do they have style and nostalgia boosts!

Repairs included: I think either Jose or myself gave it a neck reset and then Max gave it a level/dress of the frets and setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

It has new side dots and the original bridge has been modified to be compensated for the B-string and fit with a shim to increase its height. It appears original throughout, otherwise.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
