Harmony Stratotone Jupiter H-49 Model Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1962), made in Chicago, natural top, sunburst back and sides finish, Laminate spruce top, laminate maple back sides and neck, rosewood fingerboard, original two-tone chipboard case.
As popularized by Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group, the Harmony Stratotone Jupiter is a fabulous mid level professional guitar. Priced at just a few dollars less than a Fender Esquire, it was quite high end for Harmony. Sporting two DeArmond "Golden Indox" pickups, Harmony advertised: Practically unlimited variations of tone, with simplified technique! Although we cannot quite advertise the pickup circuit as being intuitive, it is fully functional, with a conventional 3-way switch plus an exciting "Blender" control setting. A well preserved, highly playable example!
Overall length is 37 3/4 in. (95.9 cm.), 13 3/16 in. (33.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 11/16 in. (4.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 in. (610 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.). Some wear (mostly to the top finish beneath the pickups) but overall a very nice example. All original except a period but less fancy tailpiece and some restoration to the wiring. An extremely good neck, about the nicest playing of these we have had. Excellent - Condition.
