Harmony H1260 Sovereign X-brace conversion (382) - SOLD

Tone quality and harmonic response are excellent. This guitar offers nice play feel and perfect intonation. Action is Low-E 4/64 High_E 4/64-5/64 at the 12th fret. My guess is you will put all other guitars aside and play this one. Check my feedback and you will know.

Neck was reset.

Back was removed, ladder bracing on top was removed, new X-bracing installed.

Back bracing is original, but rounded and sanded smooth.

Substantial bracing is added to the sides.

As usual, satisfaction is guaranteed. Returns allowed per our warranty.

I pay attention to small details. Top braces are tapered and sanded smooth. The inside back and sides are cleaned up and sanded smooth. Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth. Harmony production glue globs are chipped out. Serial numbers (if any) are preserved.

Please note - this is not a show piece guitar. It is a player guitar. Tone quality is top notch excellent. Your are buying this guitar to enjoy the excellent play feel and the sound.
