Btw.it was obtained from a working professional, was his main stage git for many years and was letting it go since getting a high-end Rainsong.This page last updated February 11, 2022.ĬMI – Chicago Musical Instruments – at one time produced more instruments than all of their American competitors combined, mainly under the Harmony brand but also under Airline, Alden, Barclay, Heathkit, Holiday, Regal, Silvertone, Truetone and some other names. Its not as intimate but it more than makes up for it in all other areas.
Nothing needed…it is solid, substantially louder, and will hold its own with any all hog 14 fret Taylor, Martin or Gibson. Right H165, $250, neck reset, new steel non adj truss rod epoxied in, jumbo frets w/o wear, neck is straight as an arrow, substantial and solid neck), bone nut, over-sized ¼” thick bone saddle with brass pins, new tuners and installed Duncan performer p/u.
Middle H162 (Barclay lable), $160, neck reset, pin bridge, frets leveled.bone nut and compensated saddle on order.$10, much like the above but a tad brighter, articulate and more volume…but not as responsive and warm. Left H165, $150, neck reset, new frets, bridge and tuners.needed a saddle/diy $5 compensated bone saddle…very sweet, intimate and responsive.not a lot of volume and easily overdriven.really great couch guitar. These Harmonys were recently obtained off CL in player condition (very good action and intonation) with work already done and imho very reasonable $.considering the old wood, ladder bracing and 50+ years of mojo.perhaps some of the best bargains out there.
