1957 Harmony 1215 Archtop... the ultimate blues machine!
Price: $400 including shipping within CONUS and paypal fees.

Mississippi Fred McDowell was playing this same model guitar, a Harmony model 1215 Archtone, when he was first discovered and recorded in 1959 (see pic below). This one has the same haunting sound as the early McDowell recordings. Date stamp puts it as a 1957 model.
The all solid birch body gives the guitar a unique tone compared to modern guitars, even archtops, but anyone who listens to old country blues recordings will recognize it right away. It's the direct, fundamental, loud and biting tone, with a hint of reverb, that epitomizes the old blues, but which I don't think any guitar made today can produce.
Comes with a padded soft shell case.

Improvising in open A tuning, making it up as I go along. Some of these licks I borrowed (stole, lifted, appropriated, kidnapped) from Mississippi Fred McDowell.
This is my version of Mississippi Fred McDowell's 'What's The Matter Now.' In open E tuning.
