QR Code Link to This Post
Up for sale is a vintage Harmony H1213 Archtone archtop acoustic guitar, proudly made in Chicago, USA. This classic American-built archtop features the timeless sunburst finish, floating rosewood bridge, trapeze tailpiece, and the distinctive Harmony headstock with the original “Steel Reinforced Neck” decal.
The guitar is in good vintage condition and has been fitted with fresh strings. It plays well and has plenty of vintage character, making it an excellent choice for blues, jazz, folk, or anyone looking for an affordable American-made vintage archtop.
A previous owner professionally installed a Prever-PN digital acoustic preamp system. The unit features:
* Built-in digital tuner
* 4-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence)
* Microphone blend control
* Master volume
* Low battery indicator
The preamp powers on and functions properly, making this Harmony ready for amplified performance without the need for an external microphone.
Cosmetically, the guitar shows the honest wear you would expect from a 60+ year-old instrument, including finish wear, small dings, scratches, and edge wear throughout. The bridge area shows light finish witness marks from previous bridge placement, which is common on floating-bridge archtops and does not affect functionality.
