1960s Harmony H950 Monterey Archtop Guitar

Overview: This old Harmony Monterey is dang clean save some weather-checking and looks the biz. It has a midsy, woody bite to it that sounds good behind a microphone and will suit chucking chords in a jam, though it's not going to hold its own for lead work like a nice Gibson or Epiphone carved-top will. I find that these suit chord-chuckers and country-blues types real well.

The top is solid, press-arched birch and the back is, too. The sides are solid birch as well. It has an ebonized-maple fretboard and bridge and the neck is poplar.

Repairs included: I gave it a neck reset and, between Jacobi and Jose, it got a level/dress of the frets and setup work done, too. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
