H1204 - Sovereign
Acoustic flatop - Black with natural rosette
1971 black version of the H1203 Sovereign. Floral pickguard and laminated plastic stenciled headstock - It seems the plastic was poor quality and is often seen dried and cracked. Spruce top, birch body (birch is unusual for a Harmony Sovereign guitar)

I'm not sure of how long this model was made, but I have one purchased in 1968. The fingerboard is rosewood. Grand concert body gave unusually good sound. Of course, the top, sides and back were solid wood. - François (webmaster) - 2008-04-20
Are you sure it's the exact same model ? Any date stamp inside ? I really doubt you purchased a black Harmony H1204 in 1968. This model doesn't appear in Harmony catalogs before 1971 (no Harmony black flat top before 1971). - KEVIN - 2008-04-22
I HAVE HERE A HARMONY SOVEREIGN, AND THE NUMBER STAMPED ON THE INSIDE IS S72 AND THEN SOMETHING AFTER THE 2 THAT I CANNOT MAKE OUT. I COULD NOT SEE A MODEL # BUT IT IS IDENTICAL TO THE H1204 ON YOUR SITE.
