I own a Harmony H60 Meteor, double cutaway acoustic/electric. It's styled after a Gibson ES335. This was my first electric, I've had it since my early teens. Great guitar. Still plays well, with some minor upgrades required. I wonder why Harmony made such a straight neck, tough to switch back and forth from other guitars with a more tapered neck. My fingers keep slipping off the fretboard on higher notes :) Still a beauty though. A classic for sure. - dave - 2007-05-05
anybody know where you can get the original bridge for the guitar, lefty model? - Blake DeKalb - 2007-08-19
A great-playing, great-sounding, great-looking, and AFFORDABLE vintage jazz box. Plug one of these into an old tube amp, and you're back in 1952!
