I am reluctantly parting with my vintage Harmony H165. It is presently on ebay with a $130 opening bid and no reserve. Seeing the interest for 'hogany guitars on the Larrivee forum, I thought I would let everyone know. I did a complete sand down and then a Tru Oil finish on this one. You can read about it in my listing. This guitar takes  a bit of work to play, but you're rewarded with a killer, piercingly primitive blues tone.
I tried to attach a foto, but it's too large a file size to go through.

Here's a link to the sale:

Dang it!  If didn't already have a hog-top Larrivee and a J-100 on layaway this pup would be mine.

Looks cool!

Thanks dberch  for the link to my ebay listing. I just tried posting some smaller file size fotos here and, despite the fact that they are jpegs, I'm getting an error message.

Wow!  :SHK> That finish rework turned out really nice!

My quiver is full at this point, but I am curious... does it have ladder bracing or X-bracing?

Thanks, Solarbean. Finishing with Tru-Oil is really not difficult and is fairly goof-proof. The hard part was the sand down. As far as the bracing, I believe it's ladder braced. At least from what I could see and feel in there.

Definitely ladder braced
have owned three of these (two 60's and one from '48)
They have the distinctive 'honk' of ladderbracing that is unavailable today
a bit raw, a bit woody, and can be loud.

Sounds like the action is not too bad on this one. because of high action, they make great blues bombers
the distinctive treble clef logo denotes the early version. Later in the decade (and perhaps early 70's) they went to a simple script 'Harmony'
