1966 Regal H272

An incredibly rare find, and one surely to excite the Harmony aficionados amongst us, is this near-mint condition 1966 Harmony built, Regal branded H-272 Meteor. Harmony acquired the rights to the Regal brand in the mid 1950's, and built regal branded instruments that were otherwise almost identical to their Harmony brethren. The Regal H-272 is pretty much the same guitar as a Harmony H-70 Meteor, but with a three-ply engraved headstock overlay, two-ply pickguard, different Bakelite knobs and a differently shaped truss-rod cover. This particular instrument is stamped "SPECIAL" on the rear of the headstock, but I can't tell you why. Sunburst body and neck with multi-ply binding on the top and fingerboard, single-ply bound back. Two DeArmond moustache single-coils with typical 335 controls. Ebony fingerboard with pearloid squares and 24" scale length. The guitar is completely original, unmodified and plays very well. The pickups sound great, and the neck and fretwork are spot on. No strikes against this one, it's about as nice a Meteor as you're likely to encounter.
