Harmony H165: How To Fix A Guitar That's Imploding

Way back in November, Patrick Ogle showed us his deteriorating Harmony H165. He said that he was going to go have it fixed, and we were all like, "Yeah right, Patrick. That's what you always say."

Well, it looks like Patrick took some initiative and took his H165 to Third Coast Guitars where Chris Eudy checks out the missing brace and talks about what it would take to fix everything up.

Not true at all really. There is a WIDE variety of Harmony guitars. A lot of them suck. Some of them are good--especially the jumbos. In fact, some of the Rockets and similar electrics are sought after instruments. They were inexpensive and they are not pre-war Martins but they never used laminates--are all solid wood. You just have to pick one up and try.
