H68 - Jazz Artist

2 pickups. Full depth body. This model appears in 1968 after some years without any full size electric archtop in rthe catalog. You may want to compare to H62/H63, but you'll find different pickups and body. H68 pickups are single coils (same as the common double mustache "indox" pickups, but enlarged with an added wooden spacer inside). H68 pickups don't have adjustable screws to balance strings. The H68 has a solid woods body construction. Heavy solid spruce top, solid maple back. It looks like Harmony just added pickups and electronics to the H1311 acoustic model.

  I own one of these beauties. I love this guitar. I have a '40 Blonde Epi deluxe, a '41 Blonde Broadway and also a Silvertone H64. I play the Harmony more than any of these. Great sound with my Gibson GA20 amp and not too bad acoustically either.

  After looking for one of these for years, I finally got one yesterday! The guitar feels extremely well built, and my band was extremely impressed by the sound. I have many other Harmony guitars, but this one was exceptionally interesting; although it is a fully acoustic jazz guitar, the pickups are so completely clear with a focus on the high end. Even on the neck pickup, the voicing was extremely bright and clear. It's the greatest sounding instrument I've probably ever owned, and I am quite the fan of Harmony guitars. The neck was somewhat different than my other Harmonys too; it is more wide and flat, and get progressively wider as you reach the 12th fret. Very cool guitar!
