Harmony Bass Guitars

Harmony bass guitars are vintage instruments that are sought by certain collectors. Harmony has always been considered to be one of the less prestigious brands of guitar, but they have a vintage chic that is considered cool now. Harmony made some solid body basses, but some of the most popular collectibles are the hollow body electric basses they made during the '50s and '60s.

It's possible to buy new Harmony bass guitars on eBay for around $100. These are a solid body type. The vintage hollow body basses are more likely to go for $300 and up. They have f-holes and a Spanish look that is very interesting. Some of the older basses have very flimsy tuning pegs, however. Look for the H-22 model if you are interested in one of these old basses.

Among Harmony basses, the H-25 and the H-27 were some of the best. They featured sturdier hardware than the H-22. They were balanced more efficiently, too, and still make a great bass guitar for playing jazz music. The H-25 was the solid body version, and the H-27 was the hollow body style. The color was often a flame maple finish. Pick guards were either white, black, or non-existent. They featured a single split pick up.

Old Harmony bass guitars will perform better for you if you occasionally lubricate the tuning mechanisms. Use a light machine type oil for this oiling. It will help the sometimes flimsy tuners last longer and keep them from breaking.

The H-65N is a solid body member of the line of Harmony bass guitars. Harmony guitars have been around since the turn of the 20th century, and have recently been reissued as vintage-style guitars. Harmony has sold more guitars than any other company, with some going by brand names such as Kay, Vogue, and others.
