Harmony H181 1969 Natural Playable Project

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This is another Harmony from a recent collection of Kay, Stella, Silvertone and Harmony guitars that were amassed from the late 1960s until the present.

This example is in excellent cosmetic condition and has that late 60's look that is so pleasantly cheesy.  

The guitar is playable as is, but the truss rod is fully loosened, so no relief can be added unless you go with a higher string gauge.  This is the sign that the guitar would benefit from a neck reset.  It is playable, but the action is really low.  You will experience buzz if you're of the heavy-handed type.  These guitars are great wall hangers, and most collectors seem to enjoy them for that aspect as even the most playable examples aren't the guitars you turn to to jam with friends or whatever.

Neck heel cap was touched up with paint or something.  The original frets are in great shape.  The nut may have been replaced.

Comes with a gig bag.
