1960s Harmony H950T Archtop Tenor Guitar



Overview: This is just about the cleanest one of these I've ever seen, save for some melty-marks on the back (likely from a strap in the case on a hot day). It's an all-solid-birch, pressed-top, archtop. It has a Gibson-style scale at 22 3/4" and a woody, simple, not-super-loud, but comfortable tone. I like these a lot as "backup" guitars, suited to chunky chords and whatnot.


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

Condition notes: It's completely original throughout. The finish is very clean for its age but it does have some "melt lines" on the back -- likely chemically disturbed when a strap was left in the case and it got hot on a sunny day -- we see it a lot. There are other light scratches/usewear marks here and there throughout.


It comes with: It has its, presumably-original, chip case.
