New baby home: Harmony Meteor 1964

[Jipes]

Here it comes a new baby in my home studio ready to burst some blues licks :dude This is a Harmony Meteor 71, nice semi hollowbody equiped with great mustache goldfoil pickups. A maple body with spruce top. The neck is very slim and super easy to play if you used to modern electric guitars. The sound is really great you can a jazzier tone as well as some nasal funky tones specially on the bridge pickup. It really plays like butter and cream and I anicipate to have great moments with that beauty I named it "Betsy"

Wow, where did you find her? She's in amazing condition. It'll be fun to hear what she sounds like - looking forward to the clips...

I found her through a website "le Bon Coin" which became in few years the main place to sell used items. The owner was living in Haute Savoie so really far from my place but we met in Berne in Switzerland which is kind of Halfway between our own locations. The only weak point are the tuners which are really old and nort super accurate otherwise she rings like a Bell :thumbsup I will do a short video this week-end to show you guys
