About This Listing

⚡️1939 Harmony Parlor⚡️. Made in 1939 in Chicago, this parlor format guitar has survived the years wonderfully. Like most of these popular guitars, it is part of American music history.

Built in solid birch, it develops an ultra dynamic sound, with lots of projection, an attack and a timbre that we have heard on a good number of rural blues albums or even folk, anti folk, lofi for those who have paid attention to certain US indie groups from the 90s/00s (list on request 😉).

It went through the workshop for a complete overhaul, profiled and polished frets, new bone nut, general adjustment etc...

The neck is rather thick, typical of the 30s/40s, straight, the action is low, it is very pleasant to play and flexible, therefore not reserved solely for slide playing!

The opportunity to acquire a beautiful and rare US parlor!
