Just bought a beauty today. Very unusual and a very well preserved instrument. The more Harmony's I own, the more I appreciate them. - N0v3nac - 2010-07-15
I have one of these, with the original pickguard, in very good, playable condition. Currently tuned to open G. - SLICK - 2011-11-27
This is the very first guitar I ever owned. My mother bought it for me in 1955 when I was 8 years old. I had it for 10 years, I loved this guitar. When I was 17 teen I went to a bonfire to play and sing, pulled it out of the trunk of the car and the neck was broke into. So not knowing that it could be fixed, I threw it in the bonfire. I just bought a Harmony Monterey Archtop H950 off of Craigslist.com. This guitar is like new and sounds so sweet I love it. Her name is Susie Thanks SLICK hagd GOD BLESS PS LOVE THOSE HARMONY'S - Jeffrey Timm - 2018-09-13
I have one bought from a pawn shop that has a crack in the top, near the left F hole. Later this year (like winter), I intend to put a patch on the inside. Other than the crack, it is in excellent shape. Can hardly wait to fix and play it!
