I see these 1950's Harmony Archtops at ridiculously high prices all the time - I don't know who buys them for that much whenyou can find them for prices like this one - $129. And this one is in good shape with the original pickguard!
Of course the action is high... it is always high on these guitars. That's how they came form the factory. Toughen up! LOL!

All original vintage 1950s Harmony jazz box. These guitars did not have adjustable truss rods - - - non adjustable steel rod instead. The action is medium to high but it still plays pretty easily. It will begin to fret out above the 9-12th frets. You could pretty easily do a neck press and reset but I've decided it's not worth the investment for modest improvement in playability in upper registers. Great guitar for blues bits on home recording projects, etc. Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide lists these as $500+ guitars. Priced to move. No case. Will ship anywhere.
