1950's Harmony H/52 Stratotone Newport in Sarasota Springs NY for $500

Here is a real old solid body electric - yellow is one of the original colors along with gold and green.  This one has the "Harmometal trim" (basically chrome binding) on the body and looks like it is all original; these came with stacked Vol and Tone and a tone defeat switch to go from muted to bright.  These early Stratotones aren't set neck or through the body - the neck and body were actually carved from one single piece of wood.  Makes for a hell of a slide guitar.  These H42 models are serious collector guitars from the mid-century - I don't know if they play as well as the H44 models but they are certainly hard to find.

1955 Harmony stratotone newport guitar. It is in good condition with 2 dents in the metal on the bottom. From what we found out these are very rare and the value is over $1000 if they are in mint condition. There is no case with it but it did come with extra strings.

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
