1971 Harmony H-162 - stamped Fall '71. This was the last run of the H-162 - the design around the soundhole, along with the shape of the pickguard, are unique to the '71 H-162. Solid spruce top. Solid mahogany back and sides.
This guitar is in great overall shape with any notable damage pictured (the most notable damage is the small hole on the southeast edge of the soundboard - evidence of a past impact to the edge of the guitar in that area).
The rest of the guitar, including the original frets, truss rod cover, strap button area, is in great shape considering the age.
The spruce top has some cool bearclaw markings in the grain, more easily seen in the photo of the guitar hanging on the wall.
This H-162 will need a neck reset due to high action. It comes with the old chipboard case pictured (missing case handle).
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
The Harmony H-162 Acoustic Guitar is one of the most affordable vintage instruments on the market that sports warm, resonant tone with a solid price tag to match. In production from the 1940s through the late 1970s, the H-162 sports either a spruce or cedar top and smaller-body construction ideal for younger players.
