NGD Harmony H79

Post by Flippersotherguitar » Wed Mar 15, 2017 10:36 pm

Hi everyone, I recently nabbed a great 12 string off of reverb for a good price and got it in the mail today. I don't have my camera with me or I would post a picture of it, but i will post one from the harmony database. It's a Harmony h-79 12 string. 24 inch scale, great dearmond pickups, wonderful thick neck and a bright jangly tone. I am in love. i will post pictures of the one i got as as soon as I have my camera with me, but until then Image

Congrats! Those are great guitars. I have a H78, 6 string with bigsby. 3 DeArmond pickups. Wonderful. It has the original wooden floating bridge, which is not great for keeping tune when using the bigsby, but I don't have te heart to change it.
I wonder how the Eastwood reissues compare to the originals.

I am not a fan of eastwoods copies, they just don't have the same character/tone/feel as the original models. I have a single pick up rocket along with this 12 string model, and it is one of my favorite guitars that I have ever owned. It has a floating rosewood bridge, along with a bigsby that I installed, but so far it has not been any trouble to tune or intonate since I got everything set up properly. The twelve also has a floating bridge, which I had to move until I got the intonation right on it, and luckily the tuners are good on it still, as it is holding its tune really well. Anyways, yeah. I love these guitars for sure, and I think this 12 string could become a real favorite among the guitars I've owned and played.
