~1935 Harmony H1655 Tenor Acoustic Guitar Natural
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This early Harmony H1655 tenor guitar is a cool, affordable piece that is in nice shape considering its age.
There are scratches and signs of use throughout, but there are no cracks or repairs to the neck or body. The parts are all original with the exception of the nut and the missing endpin. The apparently original frets have been milled and are in fully playable condition. The action is a bit high, standard for an old Harmony.
A tenor guitar isn't for everyone, but for the tenor fan or Harmony collector, this is a cool grab.
Nice, non original chipboard case included.
