Harmony "Gene Autry" 0-size, 12-fret in original ladder-braced solid spruce over birch, consumate cowboy guitar

052814B

It's hard to resist a fine and fun original cowboy guitar. This 1951 Gene Autry model 610 retains it's original vivid top stencil and tobacco brown finish all around. The chunky neck profile might favor a larger hand but the strong tones and overall projection will favor just about anyone's ears. Great example in wonderful condition.

SPECS: 0-size, body, 12-fret neck, ladder-braced spruce top over birch sides and back, paddle headstock with original tuning machines, chunky soft "V" neck profile, ebonized maple fretboard with original frets, ebony bridge and plastic bridge pins, bone nut and saddle. Nut width: 1 3/4", String Spacing: 2 3/8", Scale length: 24", Upper bout: 9 1/4", Lower Bout: 13 1/4", Body length: 17 3/4", Widest body depth: 3 5/8", Overall length: 36 1/4" , Neck thickness at 1st fret: 1 1/8", Neck thickness at 5th fret: 1 3/16" , Action: 1/8", String gauge setup: 52-11s

CONDITION: One repaired 4" back hairline is all that shows for nearly 60 years in the saddle. Great finish, extremely little wear and real solid. Work performed included neckset and repairs to braces, seams, bridge, bridgeplate, frets, touchups and setup.

SOUND: Someone saved the vintage tone from this guitar to come out well after it's manufacture in 1951. Lots of volume coming out of a small body, this guitar was meant to be strummed and can handle most any style of play that call for a flatpick.

PRICE: $499
