Harmony Broadway

The latest addition to the instrument collection is a Late 60s Harmony Archtop. It was donated to Andrew Woodell and after I made the intial transaction via verbal agreement ("Yo, I can hold that?") it saw little attention until just recently. It was in arguably playable condition seeing as how the majority of the top was not adhered to rest of the guitar and it was equiped with the most bobo mismatched classical guitar tuners ever. I had a Semour Duncan Fat Cat P-90 pickup on hand from a previous guitar and was waiting on some tuners and various parts to make it fully electric as it was previously a fully acoustic instrument. Although the headstock says "Steel Reinforced Neck" it does not have an adjustable truss rod and my guess is that it sat in a garage or attic for a while or somewhere else debatably "Indoors", leaving the strings to win the battle against the neck. Basically it's only good for slide. And vibe.
