Description
Up for sale or trade is this very early 1960s Harmony Rocket. This Harmony has "the good pickup," as in the coveted DeArmond before they changed it to the mustache pickup in the late 60s. The trade off is these early 1960s Harmony's don't have a truss rod. BUT, good news: this one has a dead straight neck, which makes this the perfect player. There is minor wear and the pots are scratchy - however, all in all this is a wonderful collectable player. From the original catalogue advertisement:The Rocket ultra-thin cutaway electric!- Golden Tone Indox Pickup designed in cooperation with DeArmond.- Harmony's ultra-thin arched "tone chamber" construction.- "Ultra-slim" neck, steel rod reinforced, uniform "feel"- "Straight line" narrow fingerboards - short scale for easy chording, "comping", or solo work.- Outstanding modern design, quality and value!- Hardwood bodies, celluloid bound edges.- Cutaway design makes fingering easy to last fret.New York buyers must pay New York sales tax. Any buyers outside the country must use eBay's Global Shipping Program - I cannot offer you a better price. If you are interested in having your purchase insured with the shipping provider, please contact me before making your payment. If you do not, I will ship the item to you uninsured at the cheapest possible rate for you. If you have any questions, please contact me. Happy bidding!
