1962 Harmony Hollywood H39

DeArmond gold foil pickup

Body and neck have wear, and I did my best to photo the issues

The pickup dates to 1962

I cleaned and polished the guitar with gentle guitar cleaner/polish

The guitar may need fine adjustments to set the intonation and string height

I just fitted a set of light-gauge strings

Overall the guitar plays well and has an old-school sound that you’d expect

Please feel free to make an offer!

I don’t have a case for this, and the old chipboard case was in poor shape. I’ll package this up carefully for shipping. If I can find a case locally before the sale ends, I’ll include it in the sale

I made the YouTube video just to show that the pickup works. My amp buzzes no matter what I plug into it
