HARMONY : The People's Guitar 1945-1975





By Ron Rothman

The American made instruments from The Harmony guitar Company receive long overdue recognition and credit in this volume through detailed text,color photographs, and catalog information. Produced between 1945 through 1975, many musicians, both amateur and professional, began their musical experiences playing Harmony guitars. Rockets, Stratotones, Rebels, Sovereigns, and Stellas are examples included in this book with specific model information, catalog reprints, along with detailed photos. Basses and other Harmony instruments are also represented. Well known players such as Keith Richards, Jimmy Page and Dave Davies have had experience with Harmony guitars, which are shared in this book. Read about the guitars that Harmony fans have come to love.


My opinion;
THIS BOOK IS FASCINATING!
I don't know about you, but I love to keep big interesting picture books such as this, in my bathroom. I'm a bathroom reader, so sue me.

This book retails $34.99 on the publisher's website, but is also sold on Amazon, Wal-Mart and other sites where you could stack Gift cards, and coupon codes too.
I enjoyed reading about the history of the harmony guitars and I was quite partial to the blue guitars, the images were profoundly detailed and mesmerizing.

Thanks to Schiffer publishing for sending me this rad book! If you like guitars you will truly enjoy this read.
