Up for sale, a 1966 Harmony H75 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original two-tone hardshell case. This premium hollowbody was at the top of Harmony’s line in the late ‘60s, featuring a fully hollow thinline maple body, a trio of DeArmond gold foil pickups, and nitrate tortoise appointments.

There's really nothing that can match the balance, clarity, and overall tonal character of a good trio of gold foil pickups. They have a percussive snap and twang, tight bass, and a harmonically-rich midrange that sounds great when each pickup is singled out or when paired together in any one of seven combinations. Unlike many gold foils, the ones on the H75 also feature adjustable pole pieces, so one can dial in the balance between the strings. All three pickups have strong output, and when mated with the fully hollow maple body, the tone benefits from both the immediate attack of the maple and the warmth and fullness of the hollow construction. This Harmony H75 is featherweight at 6lbs 4oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights subtle tight curly flame figuring on the back, with vertical lacquer checking across the body. There is some finish loss at the bass-side waist on the back, and cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to light buckle rash central to the back and a few tiny chips along the body edges. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss, free of palm wear.
