1938 Harmony / Royal Crest Archtop Guitar

Golden Era, Hand-Carved Mahogany Back!!!

Harmony
Royal Crest

Up for consideration is a vintage 1938 Harmony / Royal Crest archtop guitar, a high-end, 1930s Golden-Era Sears catalog guitar model, featuring a hand-carved Spruce top and a hand-carved Mahogany back. This is a fantastic, hand-made archtop guitar with beautiful full-range tone, excellent volume and projection, along with nice, low action. 1930s Cibsons --  even the low-end models like the L50 currently sell for $1,500 and up. Here is a great opportunity to get a arguably superior guitar, with hand-carved Spruce top -- with a rare, hand-carved Mahogany back, and still save $750!!!
