  I just got one of these and it is awesome. Really fun to play and the pickups sound great. The short scale allows you to string it with 12's and still an easy bending guitar.

  I had one of these in the 60s till selling it in 1998, it was a nice looking Guitar with 3 pickups and independant switches. I found the neck slightly chuncky compaired to Gibsons. The pickups were not very good, prone to feedback on live playing. I fitted switches to change the phase on each PU which gave a Strat type sound but nothing like as bright. A collectors item maybebut, that is all I am afraid.

  Bought my H77 in 1965, and played it semi pro until 1967. Over the years it fell into a decrepit state, and as a surprise for my 60th Birthday, my sons had it sympathetically restored to a very playable standard.
  It is a beautiful instrument.
  Anyone interested in the name and email address of the restorer, I will be glad to supply.
