Vintage 1966 Harmony Meteor H70 - Sunburst w/ DeArmond "Gold Foils" & Bigsby

Up for sale is a stunning, verified 1966 Harmony Meteor H70 in a classic Sunburst finish. This professional-grade thin-line hollow body is a true "vibe machine," famously associated with the early-era Rolling Stones sound.

Condition & Playability

This guitar is in excellent functional shape and has been professionally maintained. It features the beautiful curly maple top characteristic of the mid-60s era.

  • Electronics: 100% functional. The original DeArmond "S-Grille" (Mustache) Gold Foil pickups are strong and clear, delivering that legendary touch-sensitive grit and woody chime.
  • Weight: This is a remarkably lightweight example, weighing in at only 6.6 lbs. It is exceptionally resonant and comfortable for long sessions.
  • Hardware: Equipped with the original Bigsby vibrato tailpiece for classic shimmer and the iconic "cupcake" control knobs.
  • Playability: The neck is straight, and the action is dialed in for smooth playability across the rosewood fingerboard.

Provenance & Authentication

  • Dating: Verified by the internal "S-66" date stamp (Summer 1966) and the 5595H70 batch number.
  • Case: Includes a non-original hardshell case in excellent condition, providing modern protection that these vintage instruments rarely have.
