Rare Blonde Harmony FL-59 in Kalama, WA -

I don't think I would pay nearly the $1100 the seller says one of these fetched at recent auction - but then again he says he is "in a generous mood" so who knows what he will accept.  No matter, it is still a cool and hard to find Harmony Archtop from the late 1950's.    You don't see too many of these - I guess the added diamond soundhole was a novelty that never panned out sinceit didn't appear on any other Harmony guitars since.
