Up for sale, a 1961 Harmony Meteor H74 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. 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 and benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is vibrant and unfaded, exhibiting tight vertical lacquer checking, with some buckle worming central to the back, minor finish chipping largely limited to the back binding edge and adjacent to the neck bolts, plus a few additional dings and scuffs on the body as a whole. The neck profile is smooth and clean, with a few small shallow marks and spots of finish wear that are virtually imperceptible to the palm while fretting.
A modern Gator white canvas hardshell case is included.
