Post by Ty »

So I found this harmony in a friends garage, and I offered to fix it up for them, but lately I've been curious on what the model of it is.

not sure what model it is, but my ex girlfriend had one, and it was awful. i understand its a nice gesture to fix up somebody's guitar, but i wouldn't expect any kids to have fun learning on that thing or stick to practicing on it, because they wont.

if it were larger it would be a fun sort of johnny ramone toy, but its really dinky.

It is just about the worst thing I've ever played, but I love to try new (or new to me) guitars. Yeah, it's fixed now I just have to return it.
I did like the shaped of it.

It's a Harmony import from the 80's

It was kind of sad, I was really hopping it would be great because it just looked like a player, until I did all I could and I was like "I'm done, when do you want it back?"

There was a similar model in the 1981 Montgomery Ward Catalog

I don't trust that power outlet at all.

That guitar seems to have a sort of charm to it.
