Harmony H-19 Silhouette Sunburst 1960s
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 1960s Harmony H-19 Silhouette is a classic example of American-made vintage cool, with its offset body, bold styling, and unique tonal voice. Crafted in Chicago by Harmony during their golden era, the H-19 features a lightweight poplar body, dual DeArmond "mustache" gold foil pickups, and a short 24" scale that makes it a joy to play.
The DeArmond pickups deliver a clear, punchy, and jangly tone that cuts through any mix—ideal for garage rock, surf, blues, and indie tones. Its futuristic offset design, rocker switches, and original hardware make this guitar a standout visually and sonically. Whether you're a collector of vintage American guitars or a player looking for something with retro flair and authentic tone, the Harmony H-19 Silhouette is a rare gem.
There are some dings and wear spots here and there, but overall this H-19 is in much better condition than most.
The guitar is all original with the possible exception of a refret. The frets are just more full and feel better than other original versions of this guitar that I've played. There is light fret wear, but there is tons of live left. The action is spot on.
There are no changes or repairs. The only small issue is the missing tremolo arm.
The original case is in great shape.
