  I played one of these about 1972-74 in the Birmingham area (UK) in a blues trio called 'Fatty'. I was longing for a strat back then so I sold it on to get one. I have good memories of it. Fine neck, good for fast blues phrasing. Good 'nasal' sound from the p/u's. I was playing it through an AC30, and in small places, when we played loud, there were feedback problems which I finally got over by stuffing the body cavity with cotton wool. I still use the 335-style guitar (though now I do use a strat & a tele as my main axes). I've been by the Epiphone 'Sheraton', and currently own an old Epiphone 'Dot' 335 ("elitist"). I'd like to get hold of an old H75 again. I reckon it had a 'gretsch-y' tone.

  I actually own two of these... the tobacco H-76, and one of these babies that has been re-branded as a Silvertone! The only major differences are the lack of a tortoise-shell cap on the headstock and the "lower end" DeArmond pickups without the adjustable pole pieces. Oddly enough, inside the treble-side F-hole, this guitar is stamped as an "H77" model... but its got the Bigsby... Guess they changed their minds afterward? hahaha...

  I got this from Freedom Guitars in San Diego a few years ago. It rocks! Plug this bad baby in and turn up to "11" and play Wild Thing...abracadabra-you've just turned in Hendrix @ Monterey!
  The D'Armonds are some nasty pickups.
  Can't see why these and other Harmony guitars get disrespected so often. They hold their own against much more expensive axe's and sometimes out-perform them. My H-44 is the other babe with my H-1260 Sovereign.
