I love using foam insulation to pack fragile items. You just stack it and build the alcove for the item. I had to ship some servers overnight from California to New Jersey and packed them the same...

In the Scottish Gaelic dialect Google says it means spur. Google is not fluent in typo.

I'm not sure I would take that if he paid me $200.00 to take it.

This article is a year old. More states may have been added. I doubt any went away.

That's pretty funny.

Sometimes I wonder how much I've forgotten over the years. Martin is free to wonder the same thing.

Harmony Batwing discussion

That's a great site and the tool is great as well.

Here is a link for anyone looking for them.

Are they available in worm over configuration as well?

Rare doesn't always equate to value. If you look at what has driven the mandolin, acoustic guitar and banjo markets in the last 60 years or so it has been the instruments that were the choice of the...

I missed this totally. NFI. For anyone with an L&H that they want a Calton case for take a look at this ad. I'm sure there have been others built but I've never seen one.

Harmony ceased production in 1975. They were importing instruments right before the end. I've seen Batwings with the normal ratio tuners so I know they weren't used the entire production time. I...

The Batwing tuners place it at the end of the Harmony Company's manufacturing days. Very late 60's very early 70's. The H35 piece of the number is the model number, nobody has ever found the...

OK, so Gibson was known to sit on unfinished instruments and sell them at a later time. Perhaps building larger batches than they had orders for. Here is a 1941 Gibson F5 (a different model) but it...

So, he ordered it after WWII? Is there any remnants of a label of any kind inside the sound hole?

The headstock on the OP's is bound, the logo appears to be inlaid and the bridge wheels are totally different. The bridge could have been changed but I'd be at least looking for the bound headstock....

Nick, do you see any major differences between the OP's and the one you linked to?

I keep forgetting about the EM and the Les Paul. :cool:

They may not know what that means. I believe that antique instruments may be exempt from needing the permit. You and I know what you are saying. Ask if these rules would apply to a tenor guitar built...

Actually the Harmony has no serial number because Harmony didn't put serial numbers on their instruments. That is a model number. Look inside the Harmony with a flashlight. Are there any other...

Do they know the guitar was built in the 30's?

Yeah Buddy!

About the only thing the linked mandolin and this one have in common is the flat back.
