A stunningly well-kept example, this Meteor is representative of the model's less common mid-60s feature set, with a maple top (as opposed to spruce) and DeArmond \"moustache\" gold foil pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcoustically, the guitar offers a bold voice with plenty of treble cut and projection, and plugged in there's really nothing that can match the balance, clarity, and overall tonal character of a good pair of gold foil pickups. They have a percussive treble cut, tight bass, and a harmonically-rich midrange that sounds great when each pickup is singled out or when paired together. Both pickups have strong output and chop, benefitting from both the immediate attack of the maple and the warmth and fullness of the hollow construction. This H70 is featherweight at 6lbs 3oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: “Baseball bat” C, measuring .895” 1st fret, 1.055” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood, multi-ply binding, pearloid block inlays\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Slender, leveled and crowned, virtually no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 24 1\/4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 3\/4”, nylon\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Waverly open-gear, white buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: DeArmond “moustache” gold foil x2, Dec 6, 1965 date stamps on baseplates\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Brazilian rosewood bridge with nylon saddle insert, trapeze tailpiece (nickel-plated)\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: Four-ply tortoise pickguard, cream “cupcake” knobs\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Factory Order Number and 1965 date stamp visible through bass-side f hole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights prominent flame figuring in the maple on the back, with tight, subtle lacquer checking across the body. Cosmetic wear is limited to light buckle worming on the back and a number of minor nicks and finish scratches on the body as a whole, consistent with careful use. The neck profile retains its matching nitro gloss, with several shallow marks along the profile length that have no impact on playability. There is a dark streak in the grain on the back of the neck extending from the 5th fret to the heel, and this is a characteristic of the particular piece of wood chosen for the neck blank. Some additional finish checking on the heel is present as well, smooth to the palm while fretting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original gray chipboard case is included, equally as clean as the guitar with functional latches and the original handle.","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789840539904,"sku":"ISI21097","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_7af9d7b3-fbbf-458b-ba5c-a4e1b38095e9.jpg?v=1751562046","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1965-harmony-meteor-h70-vintage-electric-guitar-sunburst-w-dearmond-gold-foils-case","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
