Description
Based on a fairly simple construction design & marketed as an affordable catalog guitar, these old Harmony Rockets have always been fun to play, and over the years have managed to find their way back into the hands of a variety of players. This H59 model features three DeArmond "gold foil" single coils in a fully hollow body with a chunky maple neck - pretty straight forward & to the point. It resonates well & offers a cool, vintage tone.
Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & a couple of cracks in the body along the treble side near the output jack. Overall the guitar has a great vibe to it with a nice patina.
Neck: Chunky maple neck with dark stained fingerboard & pearloid dot inlays. Frets show a tiny bit of wear & have plenty of life in them. Open-back strip tuners in good working condition. 1 3/4" nut width; 24 1/2" scale length.
Body: Double-bound, hollow maple body with dual F-holes. The back of the body shows of some really gorgeous bird's eye figuring. Trapeze tailpiece with adjustable floating bridge. Single cutaway body & pickguard is missing. Guitar weighs 6 lbs 6 oz.
Electronics: Three DeArmond "gold foil" single coils on top of wood bezels. Most of the gold has worn off the middle pickup. Triple volume & tone controls with "cupcake" knobs for each pickup. All electronics are in good working conditon.
Case: Ibanez hardshell case included.
