todays find....1956 Harmony Master

[auger]

hey guys....
I was out today visiting my dad and he had this in his closet
I was surprized to see the wood was still in good condition....short of a few scratches and some wear.....
He also pulled out an old winston 3/4 size.....but it has been broken...and reglued....
the third guitar I have been unable to find any info on ...other than it has hummingbirds and flowers on the pick guard...
here are some pic's...

the price of free I just couldnt turn down...lol

looks like a few more guitars to add to the collection.....

You never know what will be in those closets. :food-smiley-004:

Sorry I can't help with parts as the Harmony archtop I have came without most of the hardware. It looks much like yours except the headstock was so mauled I had to reshape it. I found the top very weak so it sits on my bench waiting for a new brace. It did sound pretty good when it was strung up.

Peace, Mooh.

hey Mooh...thats okay....I was just putting the feelers out to see if there was anyone who had a contact for old parts for these...Harmony's
I remember the guitar from when we were kids sitting in my grandma's attic...
and the parts were all there then....
so I will be checking some old boxes of stuff at my dad's next time I get there to see if some of the hardware still exists...though Its quite possible its gone for good...
there seems to be quite a bit of info on the web,,,,re Harmony guitars....
though I havent found this specific model yet....
I had a good laugh at the prices from back in 1956....this would have went for $54.95 give or take a few cents....

the search continues
