1970 Harmony Buck Owens H169

How cool is this and so hard to find this side of the pond and we have just spent a ton of money getting this one into great playing condition which includes a neck reset and re fret. Made during the Buck Owens TV series and often given away at gigs or as promotional prizes.

This one has had some paint touchups to the bottom rim which actually matches in quite well colour wise even if a bit sloppily applied. Humidified and cleated back crack. The saddle is oversized to allow the adjustable bridge to connect to the top of the guitar negating the use of adjustable screws.

Fabulous big round tone, its not all hype, these really are nice guitars…not just a looker!

Comes with a period correct hard shell case
