I just got one of these. A very cool guitar. Beautiful wood and lightweight. The souds is great! Clean and sweet!! John in Seattle - Jim - 2009-03-11
I love my H48, anyone who has played a harmony with the gold foil dearmonds knows what I am talking about. The multipurpose switch really does give you some different sounding tones. Dearmonds have their own tone unlike a single coil or humbucker.Get one while they are still somewhat reasonably priced. - Pete - 2009-06-22
Bought mine in the 60's second hand...what a sound...brilliant. It looked the same shape as a Gibson Les Paul...so last year I dug it out and fitted two Gibson Les Paul humbucker pick-ups on it, together with the Gibson tone/ volume contols and 3 way toggle switch. It is now a Harmony / Gibson hibrid...amazing sound!! - superchet - 2010-03-06
