Harmony Bobkat H16B
circa 1967

harmony bobcat metal flake bleu finish 2 pickups 2014 This beautiful Harmony from 1967 has stood the test of time and comes in good condition and playability. 100% original, it has all of the great features from the Harmony Bobkat line including: a slightly offset double cutaway maple body; two "Golden Tone", "mustache" pickups with adjustable polepieces; "Type W" vibrato tailpiece; rounded Fender-style headstock; and an adjustable bridge. Similar to the previous H17, this H16 model, also called the Color-Kat, was produced in 3 colors: Candy Apple Red; Gleaming White; and the version you see here, Metallic Blue, which is a rare find these days. Don't miss this opportunity to own one. With minor wear appropriate for it's age, this guitar still sounds as wonderful as it looks. With its super low and fast action and slim neck it plays like a dream. This guitar is as as comfortable in a jazz setting as much as it is in a rock, blues or country gig. This is definitely one for the player and collector. It comes with its original hard shell case.Description from VintageSilvertones.com
