Up for sale, a 1960s Harmony Stratotone Mars H46 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. One of the less common upscale Stratotone models, this Mars model features unique stack knob Volume and Tone controls for the pair of DeArmond-made "Hershey Bar" pickups. A fully hollow instrument with a wooly bark when strummed acoustically, these tonal properties translate through the pickups with great accuracy. The instrument has a rich, warm sound in all pickup positions, with optimal tonal control given the stacked dual Volume and Tone knobs. This Harmony is featherweight at 5lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings and easy-playing action.
