Harmony H-44 Stratotone Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1953), made in Chicago, copper lacquer finish, hardwood body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, original two-tone chipboard case.
Overall length is 36 7/16 in. (92.5 cm.), 10 3/4 in. (27.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/4 in. (44 mm.). This guitar is quite well preserved with only some very light finish wear overall; the only major disturbance is to back of the neck where the metallic finish has greened from hand contact, and worn down to the grey primer-mostly around the first to third frets. The guitar has had a professional refret with larger wire than Harmony used in the 1950's and is somewhat more playable to modern tastes as a result. Otherwise all original except a replica jackplate-the thin plastic originals are nearly always broken. A very nice playing and early example of this super cool, funky and now much sought-after guitar, complete with its original 2-tone SSC. Excellent Condition.
