Guitar found at yard sale for $5

[Oldrvrrat57]

Picked this vintage guitar up at a yard sale for 5$ on Saturday, on the inside it has 1614H620 and S-44 anyone out there know who the maker might be? I'm leaning towards a Harmony and the S-44 might be the year it was made.

Oregon Vikings pretty hip on guitars. You might try posting it in the Random Chat Thread and see if he has any ideas.

I don't know anything about guitars but I'd sure say you got a great deal on that one

Can you show a photo/s of the numbers/stamps inside the guitar?

It does appear to be a Harmony, the first 4 digits would be the '"batch" number 1614, last 4 digits would be the model number.... H620....though I haven't been able to find that model number listed anywhere.

The S-44 would be the spring of 1944.

The only Harmony models H620 I could find are amplifiers.

Harmony is still in business, maybe you could contact them to see if they have more info.

Thank you, this is pretty well the same information that I've been coming up with! That the H620 model was electric guitars. I'll check with Harmony and see if they can guide me in the right direction!!

I'm surprised there is no name on the head. Good deal for sure.
