Harmony / HAWAIIAN STENCIL PARLOUR / 1932 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
1930’s Harmony ‘Stencil’ guitars have become very popular over the last few years. They’re a great way to own a piece of 30’s guitar history without breaking the bank. Stencil guitars often show scenes of cowboys sitting around camp fires or on horseback. But the early 30’s marked the end of the Hawaiian guitar boom. So to find a Hawaiian stencil scene is quite rare, and when it’s on a guitar in fantastic condition with great playability, it’s quite special. This guitar is from the more affordable end of depression era. It’s in all original condition, complete with neck reset so it plays like new. The top, back and sides are solid Birch. The neck is Mahogany, topped with an ebonised Maple fingerboard. The natural-finished top sports a fresh-looking tropical scene with palm trees and birds of paradise. The body is finished in a Mahogany shade, with a sunburst on the back. The nut and bridge are ebonised Maple. The guitar is a great blues box with percussive trebles, woody mids and an active bass response. It has that elusive open-voiced, feather-light, ladder-braced sound. Not just a great piece of history, but a really fun guitar to play, with a tone very few guitars can attain. It comes in a non original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
