1950s Harmony H62 Hollowbody Electric Guitar
Overview: This old Harmony jazzbox is quite the treat! It's all-original as far as I can tell and sports two Gibson P13 (P90 ancestor) single-coil pickups. Harmony bought Gibson's stock of them after WWII as the company had moved to P90s and had a whole ton of them spare. They show-up on H50 and H63 models all the time and always sound great -- they're P90-like but with a little more hot sauce on the low-end and smoothness in the highs.
Repairs included: This one arrived here via a friend of the shop for consignment and was overall in good order, though it did need a glorified setup to get it spot-on -- Molly leveled and dressed the frets and set it up and I added a little compensation at the saddle. It's ready to roll!

Condition notes: There's weather-checking to the finish throughout. There are scuffs, scratches, and small nicks and dings here and there, too, and a pretty good "buckle rash" spot on the back. It appears to be 100% original throughout. The pickups were rattling in their surrounds a bit so I stuffed a bit of foam damping material next to the housings.
It comes with: It has a decent old case.
