USA 1960s Harmony H-165 Acoustic Guitar All Mahogany Warm Sound VG Condition

This is an American / USA made, mid 1960s Harmony H-165 acoustic guitar. What a wonderful guitar. It is very similar in sound, size and feeling to a Guild M-20 as well as the Martin 00-17.  The guitar is all natural mahogany and all original.

  • Original bridge.
