Hard Shell Case is optional. Add $150 to the price or email me back.

Back was removed, braces removed, new braces installed.

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" 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. Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth. 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.
