Thanks to its fully hollow body, the guitar is exceptionally resonant. The H-45 weighs just 2.2 kg. The Alden is equipped with an original \u201cHersey Bar\u201d DeArmond single-coil pickup. Our luthier has adjusted the guitar and placed a shim under the pickup. This is the same type of pickup that was also used on the sought-after Harmony H-44 models. In terms of tone, this pickup delivers exactly what DeArmond pickups are known for: clear, direct, and dynamic, with a nice attack and a surprising amount of character. This guitar sounds excellent both clean and slightly overdriven.<\/p>\n

The neck offers a comfortable playing experience with smooth action. The original frets are also still in good condition and show only normal signs of wear for an instrument of this age.<\/p>\n

This H-45 is in good vintage condition. Over the years, the guitar has naturally accumulated various signs of wear, including scratches and other signs of normal use.<\/p>\n

In short, a charming and increasingly rare 1966 Alden \u201cHarmony\u201d H-45. A vintage Harmony full of character, featuring the beloved DeArmond tone, excellent playability, and a unique look.<\/p>\n

Comes with a gig bag.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
