  Thanks for the info on my H72v Harmony. For years I thought it was a '64 but apparently not! I love this guitar unnaturally and together with my Roland jc120, I have created beautiful warm tones I have never been able to duplicate with any other guitar. After every show (I am a solo artist) I am always approached by several people, often musicians, asking about my guitar and the beautiful, unique sound it produces.

  I own a very nice H72 and it has the classic separation at seam on back of headstock as in one you have pictured on your web sight. 3 out of 5 that I have seen have this separation. I belive that the seam opens because of the plastic type material on face of headstock shrinks just enough over the years to cause this on so many of them. Climate has something to do with shrinkage there for some do some do not. This seam is always cosmetic and is usually very stable and will not have any effect on the play or function of guitar. If you get a chance to play one DO, you will be amazed how nice they are.

  Lovely photos of a lovely guitar! I have one in very good condition, and I agree that it is an addictive experience to play it. It's light weight, plays chords or leads equally well - it just feels RIGHT! With a DOD Tube Overdrive into a Fender Princeton (of the same vintage) it wails, moans and screams - great for controlled feedback.
  Ooh! I wish mine had a Bigsby...but then, I'd never be able to keep it in tune.
