Awesome stuff

Okay...
I'm commited to getting this right since the player in this video kicks so damn hard.
SO, after researching, GrilledFishJones is right!
This is a H45 Stratotone MARS. It has an added pickup but it is indeed a Mars. The Jupiter H47 is identical to the Mars except for the pickup switch lever. The Mars has a small lever on the pick guard and the Jupiter has a knob style one on the body next to the volume and tone control.
So yeah, I was wrong but one thing that is true : You Rock

@funkyjones I believe it's a Harmony Stratotone H46 "Mars", which were made '58 - '65. It's owned by @gooseags — it was his father's (guitars are like lightsabers).

@GrilledFishJones Thanks for answering my question. You're a really at this style! I love the tone you get too. What kind of guitar is that?
-
@funkyjones There's a toothpick between the strings and the fret the capo is over, to keep the action high enough to play slide. I normally don't have to do that, but this guitar had really low action and really thin strings (0.009s) that made it nearly impossible to use my brass slide without fretting out.

nice playing! how are these to play? the neck in particular, is it easy to play?
seems to be really light and fun to play...perfect sofa guitar :)
from my searching around the internet im sure thats a h46 mars and not a h47 like some here wrote.. h47 have adjustable truss rods

@ericohman Neck was fine, nice and beefy. Guitar is indeed light. Electronics could use replacing, the pickups are pretty awful. If it were mine, P90s would be going in if I couldn't find a set from a higher-end Harmony.

Actually its not a Mars guitar.
Thats a Harmony Stratatone H47 Mercury. You can tell by the atomic logo underneath the Harmony logo on the head.
Also because of knob placement. but that is not really important
whats important is that this guy F-ING ROCKS
that was amzing, i could listen to you play like that all day.
Thanks for the info on the tuning, i will go try that out when i get home from work today.

@combine2 Thanks for the information and compliment!
I only used this tuning due to the small strings, so if you're using bigger strings (as everyone should), I'd use open E.

@combine2 @combine2 Doesn't the Mercury only have one pickup? This has two. Example of H46 on harmony.demont.net/guitars/H46/133.htm matches this one
