{"product_id":"1967-harmony-monterey-octave-mandolin-637","title":"1967 Harmony Monterey Octave Mandolin","description":"Procrastination takes on a whole new meaning here at Folkway... Sometimes we just don't feel like working on a valuable vintage guitar. It's at those times that some hapless old Harmony goes under the knife and gets turned into an Octave Mandolin!  This one did last Saturday, and you'll likely be glad it did!  It's tough to make a bad sounding octave mando, and these old archtop harmonys are great candidates for conversion.  You can string this one up as an octave mando, an Irish bouzouki, mandocello, or whatever else you fancy that uses 8 strings and a guitar scale length.  Nice fretwork and action, new bone nut, clamshell tailpiece, adjustable ebony bridge, and a pair of banjo tuners for those extra two strings.  Solid spruce top, laminate maple back and sides.  A few repaired cracks, but structurally very sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"HARMONY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610362634606,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/harmony__1007.jpg?v=1790963874","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1967-harmony-monterey-octave-mandolin-637","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
