Up for sale, a 1961 Harmony Meteor H74 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Among the rarer and more desirable iterations of the Meteor platform, this H74 features a neo-cutaway hollow maple body, gloss two-tone Sunburst nitro lacquer finish, Bigsby B3 vibrato, and pair of DeArmond Gold Foil pickups.
This Meteor has exceptional natural treble punch and immediacy, qualities channeled faithfully via the pair of Gold Foil pickups. These pickups offer a distinctive percussive cut, sweet trebles, and focused bass. There's plenty of chewy snap and sparkle in the top end, and the midrange is textured and harmonically rich. This H74 weighs 6lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Fretboard: Dyed maple, dot inlays

-Plastics: Four-ply tortoise pickguard, cupcake knobs
The gloss Sunburst nitro lacquer finish exhibits tight vertical lacquer checking, and cosmetic wear includes light buckle worming central to the back, a couple dings and finish chips along the perimeter, and just a few additional minor dings on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its lacquer gloss, free of palm wear.
A padded gigbag is included.
