USED

**This Harmony H74 is in AWESOME shape considering the age. Aside from a trussrod nut replacement, this guitar is all original - The original frets are very much a vintage profile and play as such, but they're in good shape overall -- Pickups sound amazing!!**

DESCRIPTION
A distinctive piece of American guitar history, the Harmony H74 Meteor, also known as the Neo-Cutaway, combines striking early-1960s styling with the unmistakable character of vintage hollowbody construction.

Built in Chicago, Illinois, by Harmony, the H74 stands out for its unusual half-cutaway body design, warm Sunburst finish, and classic vintage appointments. Its elegant curves and slim, lightweight profile give it a look all its own, making it an appealing choice for vintage guitar collectors, recording musicians, and players looking for something beyond the usual vintage electric.

The hollowbody maple construction delivers a lively acoustic response with a woody, resonant character. The twin vintage-style DeArmond pickups are known for their articulate attack, sparkling highs, pronounced midrange, and expressive dynamics. Expect a versatile tonal palette ranging from clean, rounded jazz and blues tones to gritty garage rock, roots rock, and surf-inspired sounds when paired with an appropriate amplifier.

A factory-style Bigsby vibrato tailpiece adds expressive pitch movement and classic visual appeal. Individual volume and tone controls allow for flexible adjustment of each pickup, while the distinctive body shape and traditional Sunburst finish give this Harmony a timeless vintage presence.

Produced during the 1961–1967 period commonly associated with the H74, the Neo-Cutaway represents an interesting chapter in Harmony's American-made electric guitar history.
