1939 Harmony Biltmore Ritz

1939 Harmony Biltmore Ritz in very good condition. This one was re-built by James Burkett in early 2021. Restored and structurally solid, James removed the back, and replaced the original ladder bracing with X-bracing. Additionally, a bridge plate was installed, new back binding, and planed and refretted the fretboard. The mahogany neck was reset as well. This improves the sound quality on this instrument and has made it playing excellent. Original pickguard was reglued and still carries a faint logo with lines on the top. White side dots added on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th fret. Guitar is well balanced in your hands, exceptionally well playing acoustic that also has the old vintage sound. A great vintage USA made flat top with some excellent restoration work. Find out more on the restoration process (with additional photos) at the link to the right. Comes with a new hard shell case.
