Harmony Hollywood

by Tim
(Idaho)

A friend wants to sell his Dad's guitar. I'm a Sax player. It's a hollowbody archtop with a strange pickup that is stamped to look like a mic screen.

It's in pretty good condition, though the machines are stiff from not having been played in ages. It has a metal truss rod, and looks great. The tobacco sunburst is nice too- though I don't particularly care for sunburst.

It appears from the story to have been built in the 50's?

Thanks--
