***THIS IS ONE OF 8 VINTAGE GUITARS FROM A COLLECTOR/HOARDER/PLAYER THAT WE WILL BE SELLING...ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SET UP, IN READY TO PLAY CONDITION***...THIS IS AN EARLY 1970'S HARMONY H6600 MODEL USA MADE ACOUSTIC...1972 - 1974...IT ORIGINALLY HAD A PLASTIC HEADSTOCK PLATE THAT SAID "REGAL CUSTOM"...IT HAD DETERIORATED OVER THE YEARS AND HE HAD A ROSEWOOD HEADPLATE MADE AND INSTALLED AS SHOWN ...IT'S JUST A BIT THICKER THAN AVERAGE, AND DONE WELL...IT DOES HAVE AN AGE SPLIT BETWEEN THE POSTS AS SHOWN, THIS IS JUST COSMETIC...A REGAL COLLECTOR HAS INFORMED US THAT THE TUNERS WE THOUGHT WERE REPLACEMENTS ARE IN FACT ORIGINAL, THEY WORK FINE...THE BRASS SCREWS LOOK TO BE NEWER OR CLEANED...WITHOUT QUESTION, THE TRUSS ROD COVER IS NON-ORIGINAL...
THE NECK IS SOLID MAHOGANY, THE TOP IS SOLID SPRUCE...I ASSUME THE MAHOGANY BODY IS LAMINATE, AS I HAVE SEEN IT DESCRIBED AS SUCH IN THE PAST, BUT HAVE ALSO SEEN IT DESCRIBED AS SOLID SIDES AND LAMINATE BACK, SO I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE...TRYING TO MATCH THE GRAIN LINES ON THE INNER SURFACE OF THE SIDES WITH THE OUTER SURFACE IS MOST DIFFICULT...
THE VERY CLEAN FINGERBOARD IS ROSEWOOD, THE FRETS WERE DRESSED LAST YEAR AND ARE PERFECT, THE TUNERS WERE REMOVED, CLEANED AND RE-LUBED, IT'S 1 3/4" WIDE AT THE NUT, 25 1/4" SCALE LENGTH, 15 3/4" WIDE AT THE LOWER BOUT, 4 3/4" DEEP BODY...THERE ARE NO LOOSE BRACES, TWO SURFACE SPLITS ON THE TOP BY THE BINDING AS SHOWN, YOU CANNOT SEE THESE INSIDE WITH A MIRROR, THE ONE ON THE TREBLE SIDE IS OVER THE INTERIOR KERFING, SO IS CONSIDERED COSMETIC ANYWAY...IT HAS IT'S SHARE OF DINGS AND SCRATCHES, MUCH LESS THAN AN INSTRUMENT OF THIS AGE THAT WAS PLAYED A LOT SHOULD HAVE...AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST 6 YEARS IT HAD A BRIDGE DOCTOR INSTALLED (see the photo through the sound hole)...IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE ARE GOOGLE IT AND READ ABOUT THEM, THE BEST THING EVER FOR OLDER FLAT TOP GUITARS...THE LOW E STRING MEASURES A HAIR UNDER 3/32" OVER THE 12th FRET, THE HIGH E STRING IS A HAIR UNDER 5/64" OVER THE 12th FRET...WITH NO FRETTING OUT OR FRET BUZZ ANYWHERE...A BIT LOW FOR MOST PLAYERS, BUT PLENTY OF ROOM LEFT ON THE ADJUSTABLE BRIDGE TO RAISE IT UP IF WANTED...THE NECK IS THINNER IN CROSS SECTION THAN MOST FROM THIS ERA AND VERY, VERY COMFORTABLE TO PLAY...THE INSTRUMENT SOUNDS MUCH BETTER THAN YOU WILL BE EXPECTING AND PLAYS LIKE SOMETHING COSTING MUCH, MUCH MORE...I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE 1960'S AND KNOW WHAT TO LISTEN FOR...THIS IS A GOOD GUITAR AND THE PLAYABILITY AND TONE MAKE IT STAND OUT IN THIS PRICE RANGE...
WE DIDN'T GET CASES WITH ANY INSTRUMENT FROM THIS LOT...WE BOUGHT A USED MADE IN CANADA HARD CASE FOR THIS INSTRUMENT BECAUSE IT DESERVES IT...WE DIDN'T FIND THE CASE LISTED UNDER "BARGAIN PRICED USED CASES" BUT WE GOT IT ANYWAY.. WE WILL USE IT AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU...
