A rare opportunity to own a 1960s Harmony Rocket by Heath (Heathkit) TG-36 H56/1, all-original hollow-body, double-cutaway electric guitar in excellent vintage condition. It features two original DeArmond gold foil pickups and a rich gloss red finish, delivering classic tone, vintage vibe, and strong visual appeal.
Professionally serviced and fully set up by a luthier, this guitar offers very low action, excellent intonation, and outstanding playability. Electronics are fully functional, with only a minor intermittent scratchy/cutting-out issue when one pickup tone knob is fully engaged in one direction—likely an easy fix with a quick pot cleaning. *Includes an original vintage Heathkit assembly manual.
Included is the original hard-shell case (OHSC), adding to its collectible value. Considering its age and originality, this Rocket H56 is one of the finest vintage Harmony guitars available, ready to play or add to a collection.
I’m struggling to find shipping with a carrier that will insure at the required amount, so unless I can find an option, it will have to be a local pickup and I’m willing to travel up to 50 miles at a fuel cost covered by buyer.
