    Man, these are SO cool. The fact that they’re handmade by the guys and girls at Heritage and FULL NITRO finish at that price is wild.

    We're glad you're all enjoying our blast from the past overviewing the new Harmony Guitar range!
    Make sure to stay tuned as we have plenty more Harmony videos on the way, going in-depth with each of the new models! 🤘

      @sonicallydisruptive 3 года назад +1

      Same here, red strat. Strings were about 8 inches off the fretboard and almost impossible to play. However, learned my first Kiss song on it.

    I recently inherited my late grandfather’s 1959 Harmony H65 archtop and H306 amp. Had the amp serviced and it sounds great. Guitar will be next. I love hearing his “voice” come through his rig 25 years after his passing.

    @lance134679 3 года назад +11

    This was a great idea to bring these back, as I don't think I'd want to wade into the murky waters of trying to find a good vintage Harmony guitar, and getting them playable would likely be a challenge. A brand new line of American-made reissues makes more sense to me, as someone who is neither a collector or a guitar tech, just looking for something different than Fender or Gibson.

    • @bh8365
      @bh8365 3 года назад +1

      @Lawrence Gillespie. Yes. What makes sense to you makes sense to me. I'd like some other color options. Even wood finishes.

  • @JustSomeGuy
    @JustSomeGuy 3 года назад +25

    I've been eying the Juno since I saw Jonathan Koh's review of it. It's only the snow and sheer will power that's stopped me from buying it.

    Oh Captain my Captain… You have been practicing! I've been watching Anderton TV for about four years now and I will say if you can do it I better get on the stick and do it too because although I've been playing while you've passed me up. Which is not saying much but still you have improved your improvisation multi fold! I guess it's another product of Covid but nevertheless I'm impressed! Love the show as always.

    Nice to see Harmony back, and great jam today, Lee & Pete, thanks. Folks, if you've not see it, 'The Captain Meets His Dad' episode is well worth watching from start to finish, even if you have to watch it in instalments!

    I still have my grandpa's 1955 Harmony Stratotone hollow body electric. Was my first guitar I started on in the mid 90s.

  • @JohnKelly2
    @JohnKelly2 3 года назад +1

    My first electric was a 1967 Harmony Rocket with dual mustache pickups. Bought it in 1995 for $75 at a pawn shop. I still have it and it's my favorite. All I've done to it is replace the tuners and clean the pots. Anyone who says the vintage ones are crap haven't played one.

  • @lauriebluesguy

    My father has a late 50’s Harmony Sovereign acoustic, fond memories of singing along as a family with my dad playing and singing. He still has it, but it’s confined to its case now as the bridge is lifting.

    With the best will in the world, the lovely pic of your dad in 1964 just screams Alan Partridge to me. (Harmony? They've re-badged it, you fool). The recent video interview you did with your pop is one of the most engaging and touching I've seen.

    Man is it just me or does the Captain vibe well with that one in the intro. That’s a great neck pup tone. It’s like a fat Fender with that hollow tubular tone

    Hi again...just come over from the juno vid and again would like to let you know that I am listening without headphones on a laptop not renowned for quality sounds out of the speakers and these guitars have done something magical at Andertons, the sound from the vid's is in my opinion, is quite awesome, who needs computers and DAW's. inspired your playing me thinks. Ta for now.

    I started learning to play the guitar in 1967, and it was an acoustic. For Christmas of 1969 my folks gave me a Harmony electric guitar. They got it from the Sears catalogue for around $40 American.

    Stolen? I will probably never know.
    I've been drooling ever since this new line of Harmony guitar came out. I will own a Silhouette!!!

    @stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885 3 года назад

    I love my mid-60s MIA Harmony H72V (w/factory Bigsby and gold foil DeArmond pups). Weighs almost nothing and has the grooviest vintage vibe. I've only had it a few years but they cost $249.50 in 1967 - which would be almost $2k today!

  • @Paul_Lenard_Ewing

  • @rowbags3017
    @rowbags3017 3 года назад +1

    Awesome! I've been really interested in the new Harmony's for a while. I love their retro vibe and unique styling. Everything I've seen about them indicates that they are seriously good. The price for a somewhat "niche" USA-built guitar is nice too. I'll be in the market for a new electric in a few months' time, and I want something distinct from all my others (sound- and looks-wise), so one of these could tick all the proverbial boxes.

  • @stevemaass3074
    @stevemaass3074 3 года назад

    Great outro jam! My parents bought me a Harmony 12-string semi-hollow electric for my 13th birthday. I was thrilled until I realized what they had saddled me with. But at least my first guitar wasn’t a cheap acoustic. ;-)

    @frankmitman3347 3 года назад

    I do believe the vintage Harmony guitars are undervalued and under appreciated. I played many ‘Cheapies’ at Sears in the 60’s and some were awesome but many were almost unplayable. These new Harmony guitars look well made and sound great. I’m interested.
