Harmony H1203 Sovereign (Branded as Barclay) X-braced conversion (#402) - SOLD

Price: $550

Free Shipping

Hard Shell Case is included. Case is in very good condition, but not new.

Back was removed, top braces removed, new braces installed.

Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth.

Structurally speaking, this is in excellent condition.

Reset was done.

Action is 4/64 at the 12th fret. Low-E is a bit higher.

This is an excellent sounding "Western Special" X-brace conversion.

We pay attention to fine details. The inside back and sides are cleaned up and sanded smooth. We chip out all of the glue globs. Braces are tapered and sanded smooth. Serial numbers (if any) are preserved. We use a drill press and reamer to install new solid metal bushings and modern tuners. We do what Harmony should have done 50 years ago.

Before installing new tuners, I fill every tuner hole with solid wood, repair the finish and drill new tuner screw holes. I do this on all Harmony restorations.

As received, this guitar had several cracks in the sides. All cracks are comprehensively stabilized and repaired.
