Harmony Sovereign H1260 V-braced Conversion (238) - SOLD

 

Sound is exceptional with full harmonic overtones. This is what you want in a great guitar.

Neck is excellent. Action is 4/64 at the High-E 12th fret and slightly higher at the low-E.

Structurally speaking, this is in excellent condition.

Neck was reset.

Back was removed, braces removed, new braces installed.

Structurally speaking, this is in excellent condition.

We pay attention to small 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 with reamer and press guide to install new solid metal bushings and modern tuners. We do what Harmony should have done 50 years ago.

Please note, this guitar is lightly braced and not appropriate for medium gauge strings. You can string this with extra light gauge strings and still hear the same amazing tone. (We supply a custom light string set.)
