Demo was recorded with a cell phone not studio equipment so you get a basic idea, best to come hear it and try the guitar in person

Guitar was adult owned and has very little wear for the age, original frets are like new, and the original tuners that work good and hold tune.
The guitar has had a neck re-set and some other repairs normal for the age, as well as a set up all preformed by a professional luthier that specializes in vintage guitars.
Plays like a new guitar, with tone and feel of a vintage.
Specs: Concert size or 000 size body
String scale 25-1/4, nut 1-3/4
neck radius 10”
lower bout width 15-1/2”
upper bout 11-3/4”
and width of sides 3-7/8”
This is a 1950’s model so it was constructed with hide glue and the bracing is a little lighter than the 60s models which gives the 1950s models a better tone.
This guitar is straight braced, though it has a very good tone-- some people convert these to X bracing, this guitar has not been.
Guitar tone is subjective, to hear the difference between x braced and straight braced Harmony Sovereigns here is a good video to watch.

This is a real sweet sounding guitar, great for finger picking, as well as strumming.
Also has the vintage feel, built when guitars were really built well with old growth exotic woods that are all now only found on very high end model guitars.
NO CASE but I may be able to include a bag if needed
