Truly a cool guitar. This is the original "endorsed" guitar. It is the chambered "Roy Smeck" Harmony Guitar. More than likely a 1961-1963 model. The finish is incredible, all original with minor checking. The only nonoriginal part is the pickup "toggle-style" selector switch. It does have a NOS switch that is the correct color that has been ordered and will accompany the guitar. This guitar does not have an original case, but will be professionally packed and shipped in a nonoriginal case. Action is good. The DeArmond pickups sound truly amazing. I am selling this for a friend in financial need. If I were going to make this guitar mine, I would put a good set of tuners and a stop tailpiece on, and I would never let it go. It truly would be my main guitar. It is such a blast to play. It truly takes me instantly back to a more simple time in life. Thanks for your time. These have become quite collectable. We have seen them priced over the last year for $1200 to $3000. We are asking $1500 for this one. Thank you again.
