Found this guitar without bridge for ten bucks at a flea market. I had a bridge from another archtop that got smashed that fit this ax. Has a great sound have had it for thirty years now and will never let it go. Great for blues and jazz - boltlight - 2011-07-06

Elvis played a custom version of this guitar and model in the movie "Roustabout" sorta interesting how he widdle's his name in the back of the neck of his guitar's very crudely with a knife while he's sitting around in his trailer between set's . He ended up giving away a guitar that looked very similar to this one year's ago that had custom ebony tuners and trim with both names on the upper neck "Harmony Monterey " - Mary - 2011-12-31
I have an original that my mother played on live radio in the late 30's early 40's. It still has a great sound. Really enjoy playing.
