I like the retro style but prefer it's modern appointments. I see a good deal on the Rebel model on Reverb for about half what they go for new. They come in really nice Mono gig bags.
I've been wanting to try one of the new Harmony guitars made at the Heritage Factory in Kalamazoo, MI
I REALLY like the Silhouette model and wish they were more affordable.

Those sound fantastic. I like the offset the best but in the end it is more Fender than Gibson and I am a set neck Gibson kinda fellow if I were still doing the electric thingy. Good to see the brand still carrying on and with that level quality standard.

I was unaware of these as well, like the US made lineage and the prices aren't ridiculous. The neck finish looks really nice, will have to try and check them out when shops finally open back up. I see that used one on reverb too [mention]golem[/mention] , he's taking offers too. Whats someone interesting is how big the text of the serial number is written on the back of the headstock...maybe a prototype? The others seem to have hand -scripted serials too but in a much smaller font.

The serials all look handwritten. Perhaps it isn't the same person who does each one? It is bigger. Like twice as big. I put in an offer I think is reasonable. There's no way shipping should be as expensive as they're asking. I'm only a few hours away.uwmcscott wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 10:06 am I was unaware of these as well, like the US made lineage and the prices aren't ridiculous.

Good Luck. I messaged the seller with a few questions and he responded right away. I'm guessing he wont' budge on the price since he's already got it marked down so much but it will be interesting to see where you end up.

Strange thing saw this thread googled harmony + kalamazoo and third thing on the list was the AG.com site about this with posts by Golem, Pesky and Mossman among others. Pretty sure we were not posting there just found it interesting.
I was interested in these when these first came out. I'd forgotten about them for a while and only realized that there might be a few out there used when I was thinking about bandlab yesterday. I probably created a thread there when they were first released.

The Rebel sounds like my Supro Westbury to me. Very definitely actual gold foil pickups.
