I have a H37 and it has the color and finish of the H39. Year was 1962. Maybe in the transition to the new H39 they used old H37 backs. Any Ideas? - Paulie - 2007-05-01
I just picked up a Harmony Hollywood today from a co-worker who had found it at a yard sale. I feel like I've won the lottery! This is such a nice instrument and the pickup is working and sounds rich! Put a new set of strings on this baby and we are going to play! btw...my serial number is 3653H37 but there is no date stamp that I see. Any idea on the year? Thanks! - BigAWB - 2008-05-20
I've have owned a Harmony just like this one since 1963. It was a Christmas present and has given me many years of enjoyment. I now mainly play a different guitar, but this one still get played on occasion and is on permanent display in my living room. (I call it Sam)
