beloved, local musician
That Harmony is sweet. I could see myself with one.
I have its twin, and it is fun! Nice smooth ebony board.I was gonna guess Harmony! I got this Harmony Rebel at GC a month or so ago and it's a hell of a guitar. I think you're really going to like yours.

(Mine didn't come with the Mono bag which is a real bummer...)
As far as I know, he doesn't have it yet. It's going to take a while, has to come all the way from CME.Bumping this to see how you're settling in with your new Harmony.
Actually, I got it from some joint in Tulsa.As far as I know, he doesn't have it yet. It's going to take a while, has to come all the way from CME.
Sorry for the lack of update. I was in St. Louis for work all last week and have generally been busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest.Bumping this to see how you're settling in with your new Harmony.
Thanks for the detailed reply! I went down bit of a rabbit hole watching people playing them. I love the ergonomics, and they sound fantastic and surprisingly versatile. I'm intrigued with the pull-out pot to get that bassy sound. I'd love to try that with fuzz.Sorry for the lack of update.

I’m really digging it. The pickups are excellent. I’m generally a fan of P90s and these are sweet and well balanced. They do cleans quite nicely and still grind when you apply gain. My guess is they’re possibly a little on the underwound/vintage wound side.
The neck is excellent. Very comfortable. Chunky, but not an exaggerated baseball bat. The smaller body is quite well balanced and ergonomic—similar experience to playing a Junior, but maybe a little more comfortable (for me at least) because the weight/waist is shifted a bit more towards the fretting hand.
Fit and finish are excellent. These normally come in a custom smaller mono bag, but they shipped mine in a full size mono bag, which is cool. Overall, I’m quite pleased and my plan is now to use it on rhythm tracks for songs I’m just starting to record which will likely be finished sometime in 2035.

What amps are you going through?
Mostly been using my Boss Katana on the Clean setting (which is really similar to the Roland JC sound) or the Crunch setting. That or I’ve been running with headphones into my Simplifier (mostly on the Fendery and Marshally sides).
