I owned one of non-thinline Harmony Jupiters for a few months a while back. Even though it was ultimately not for me, the build quality was amazing for the price. I think if I went back for one in the future it would be the Silhouette for the mini-HBs and offset body.
The pickups sound fantastic! Great articulation and string separation. Wonder if they are mini-humbuckers or some Firebird-like design. I was looking at some Les Paul’s, SGs, and PRS CEs but I guess I’ll have to put one of these Harmony guitars on my G.A.S. list for now or later, but definitely sometime soon😅.
Unicorns DO exist... and they're called (the relaunched) Harmony guitars. I have both this Jupiter and a Silhouette and I will NEVER give them up - 2 of the best guitars I've ever had (among Gibs, Fenders, Rics, Gretsch, etc). As stated, flawless fit and finish, tasty tone, and the nicest neck profile I could ever hope for (whew, alliteration nailed), and American made in the coolest shop on the planet - all scraping by at LOW 4 figures! I know that last part's subjective, but seriously, if C shape is your thing, and JUST this side of girthy, then whoooweee you're in fer a treat. Chris is right about the color - think pearl white, but... black. The metal flake reflects back ambient colors and is abso mesmerizing. I don't gig, but I can just imagine it's glorious under stage lighting. Got it as a substitute for a Gretsch George DuoJet cuz I couldn't get around that neck shape, and I don’t know if it's the shape, color scheme, that silvery-grey guard, the headstock shape, or the tones, but it totally has Gretsch vibes - and there can be no higher praise than that.
Cooper: you can play a $70 guitar and make it sound like a $4,000 guitar. If you threw a random price out someone would pay it after you jammed lol. All a compliment 😊
This is the reason why one day i need to go into a guitar store tell them my budget and get them to blind fold me and give me guitars to play so I am not biased to the looks which I am not a fan of with this guitar but I would be sold solely on it's tone.
I'm surprised they brought back the Harmony name as a USA made product. I have a Harmony mandolin that I bought in 1978 that was made in Japan and not a good quality instrument. I would have thought the Harmony name would have been put on an imported instrument today. (edited) Had I watched the entire video, they mention this...
The guitar is interestingly specced, but when you say it compares favourabl to Fender's pricing for US made: the performers are $1449. Given the Fender brand premium compared to Harmony, I'd have to disagree about how favourably this compares. I think a more direct competitor for this would be somthing like the Godin Radiator. And this doesn't compare favourably there either, unless you're crazy for a nitro finish.
Picked up one of these yesterday.... Wow! Really impressed! Sounds and feels fantastic!
What colour?
I've had one of these for a few months now and it has quickly become my favorite guitar. Amazing quality and value, imo.
RIGHT??? Love LOVE mine.
I picked up a Silhouette recently at a store and fell in love. High on my wishlist.
I hope your wish comes true!
Loving mine. I got the pearl white and put a Bigsby on, and it's a killer.

Nice playing Cooper.
Sweet guitar and sweet picking. I just wish it had separate tone and volume control so you could do that middle pickup blending thing.
Sounds good

Would anyone who owns one please reply: Is this guitar neck heavy?

You're forgetting who is making these. The quality for the price is on point.
Almost perfect, they need rolled fretboard edges.
$1499.??? Are you kidding me,,,,,OMG
The Harmony guitar company died years ago. Re-emerging and prostituting the name means nothing to me.
It's just a guitar, man.
@@stevewilliams846 It’s marketing, man…
@@starmarker531 Glad you are enjoying your guitars.
