    Hi,it's Alvaro from Spain.I play guitar in an spanish retro-blues group called REVERENDOS.Recently I picked an AIRLINE h70 METEOR(1964,I think)and all I can say is that it has a tone as cool as T-Bone Walker.

    Hi, I just recentley was able to pick up an H70.
    With a lot of elbow gress and some new strings its not to bad, I think its a 62 could any one tell me what it might be worth. Not that Iam gona get rid of it but I trying to convince my wife on why I need anouther guitar.

    I've had my Harmony Meteor since about 1991, I bought it from a friend who was a busker.. He used to sleep rough with the guitar. He wanted £15 for the guitar and a little practice amp.. I said I didn't want the amp, and gave him the £15. He needed a dreadnought to busk with.. he got one for one can of beer and two cigarettes. Crazy but true!!.. It seems to be a 66 model.. it says S-66 inside. It has the adjustable pickups. I have flat wound srings on it!! It just seemed that they suited the guitar.. I can't believe it shipped with them. It sounds really classic. I love it!!

    I have a blonde Meteor which I paid £20 for in 1970, complete with case. The guitar was made in 1958, and had been gigged hard. It has a Bigsby tailpiece and is fitted with Schaller machine heads. At the moment it is living in my loft, and I haven't played it for nearly 30 years....
