Ca. 1960 Harmony H165
Fully Overhauled with solid, all Mahogany body.
Mahogany tops can be so amazing. Less sizzle in their sound than Spruce, they give a lush silkiness if given room to breath in the bracing. Strong fundamentals and calmer, but still very active harmonics that give Mahogany tops their characteristic "darkness". The H165 is a big guitar with some power and that darkness comes through thick with "pushing" feel to it. This one here turned out phenomenal sounding with a fast neck profile as well.
25 inch scale length
1 3/4 nut width
16 ft radius board
3/32-2/32 action from low to high e's
Fully Overhauled - New bracing, frets, bridge, saddle, nut, tuners.
Neck reset and set up like a king
