1963 Harmony H945 Archtop Guitar

Overview: This well-lived old box is an all-birch, press-arched guitar made in '63. It's got a boxy, woody sound that will do bluesy stomping just fine, but it's definitely more of a "specialty" guitar. It'll mic-up just fine and give you some fun character when you need it.

Repairs included: For a funky old guitar, this thing got a lot! It's had a neck reset, fret level/dress, crack repairs, side dots fit, seam repairs, and setup work -- all done by Jose. It plays well but does have a little bit of upbow in the neck tuned to pitch we couldn't entirely dial-out with our level/dress work.

Condition notes: It has a few repaired top cracks and some old and new repairs to seams on the body. The side dots, tailpiece, and bridge are unoriginal but the rest is. The bridge is a mix of parts-bin Harmony stuff -- some of which came on this guitar and some that came on others. 

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
