Reissue Harmony Guitars?

[mcknigs]

Anyone played them? How are they? I've seen the website:

...but I have no idea what they're asking for them. Anyone know?

No one, eh?

Haven't played them, saw them at NAMM though...I guess it was just a bit off-putting to see the vintage reissues next to Schecter/Jackson-ish pieces.

Haven't seen them in any stores around here yet.

They have a list of dealers on the web site. None of them are any closer than an hour + away from me and the closest appears to be internet-only, which doesn't leave much chance to try before buying.

i would look into getting one if they offered any of the vintage in lefty. specifically the rebel, jazzbox or stratatone.

Totally got my attention! I'm wondering how they sound compared to the original pickups. I heard rumor a little while back that Lollar was getting close to cloning the pickup.

I saw these at NAMM, and was impressed with the playability and sound of the guitars, although the hollowbody bass was my favorite. The p/ups sound very nice, but don't have the lo-fi mid snarl of the old foil tops. Still nice though. I have a price list, but frankly their wholesale seems high for the target dealers that would be interested. Build quality seemed pretty good, but when you look at the cost+markup, the price point is pretty close to what good vintage examples go for, so I figure they may have to drop prices in the future. I could be wrong, but I don't see them being profitable for the average retailer out there. They are well executed though and quite nice IMO. Very nice folks though, and I wish them a lot of luck-and I hope they have success!
