Typical spider checking and crazing on the finish. Minor pick guard lifting beneath the strings. Neck is straight. Never had a neck reset and plays great with no string buzzing or dead spots. Actually sounds amazing! Take it for a test strum at my office in Danbury, CT. Includes the original case.

It has the original large offset tortoiseshell pickguards with metal Harmony logo, tortoiseshell headstock overlay and truss rod cover.The iconic Harmony Sovereign Jumbo has been a favorite of song writers and recording artists for almost 60 years, used by many greats from Jimmy Page to Ryan Adams for its huge sound and incredible note definition.From an article quoting Jimmy Page regarding his Harmony H1260:“I’ve lent my Harmony six-string acoustic, that guitar I had way back in the early Sixties and it was with me all the way through to the point that I used it as a writing tool,” Page says, “And that particular guitar is the vehicle whereby the first album, Led Zeppelin, is written, the second album is written, the third album is written and the fourth album is written. And it’s the guitar that actually culminates in playing ‘Stairway to Heaven.’Reasonable offers may be accepted or declined by the ConsignorFind us easily on other sites.
