1929 Harmony Lindbergh Parlour

SOLD  In 1927 Charles Lindbergh captured the imagination of a nation with his cross-Atlantic flight, and as a result aeroplane imagery was a common sight in late 20’s and early 30’s American design. Harmony marketed this parlour guitar, with it’s stylish aeroplane bridge, between 1927 – 1934. The guitar features a Red Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides, and is a great blues box with percussive trebles, woody mids and an active bass response. It has that elusive open-voiced, feather-light, ladder-braced voice. The guitar is in surprisingly good condition for it’s age, clearly loved and played in equal amounts. It plays extremely well thanks to a pro neck set and fingerboard replacement. The new board is Ebony, and has the original pearl inlays reused, with excellent fretwork, new bone nut and saddle, and Rosewood pins. Beautifully set-up, the guitar plays perfectly with low action. It comes in a non original hard case.
