- Custom Finished 1958 Harmony Stratotone Mercury H47 Just In Time For Saint Patrick's Day
guitarz.blogspot.com: I stumbled across this nice old Harmony and thought that it was rather timely. The vintage Harmony guitars can be either pure gold or just alright enough in my experience. I've not had an H47 in my hands so I cannot speak...
- Antique Vintage Tenor Guitar Banjo Uke Banjitar - Handmade And Possibly Unique?
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's another instrument that looks to be a handmade one-off, although a lot more craftsmanship has gone into creating this than on the boat oar guitar we saw in the previous blog post here on Guitarz. I'm not sure what...
- British-made Windsor Whirle Tenor Guitar - Or Is It A Baritone Ukulele?
guitarz.blogspot.com: This Windsor Whirle was made in Birmingham, UK, according to the eBay seller in the 1920s. Myself, I'm not so sure about that, and would widen the timeframe to anytime in the 20th Century up until the 1940s. But perhaps the seller...
- 1960's Harmony H22 Electric Bass In Fulton Il For $75
This seller is offering a USA Harmony semi-hollow electric bass for the small fortune of $75. These are sometimes referred to as the "Batwing" for the giant pic guard that Harmony added to try to cut down on all the feedback from the pair of open...
- Harmony H51 Or H57 Archtop Electric In Silverlake Ca For $95
The seller says this is an H51 but it looks alot like a Roy Smekck H57 to me (minus the pickguard). Either way this is a very desireable guitar for a very low price (only $95!). The crappy glue job on the rear aside that pickup is clearly a GIBSON...

Harmony Roy Smeck H73 signature guitar from 1966
guitarz.blogspot.com:
I didn't know who Roy Smeck was until I bought a bunch of parts from 2 Harmony Roy Smeck lapsteels a while back. Born in 1900, Smeck, who was known as the Wizard of Strings died in 1994. He was known for his skills on guitar, lapsteel, banjo, and ukulele. He was even inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame.
It seems he had a long affiliation with Harmony and was even somewhat of an inventor. Many Harmony products bear his name.
This H73 is one of those products. I like the profile of this hollow, 2 pickup electric. It has an ample cutaway and an upper bout that is slightly reminiscent of a telecaster's curves.
It looks to be in great shape and comes with the original case.
The seller is looking for trades, something interesting or unusual.
