{"product_id":"harmony-h8025-arch-top-mandolin-1972-5707","title":"Harmony H8025 Arch Top Mandolin (1972)","description":"Harmony H8025 Model Arch Top Mandolin (1972), made in Chicago, serial # 7564H8025, sunburst lacquer finish, Laminated Maple Body, Maple Neck, Spruce Top, Rosewood Fingerboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Model H-8025 is a fairly unusual and fancy styled mandolin from the later days of the illustrious Harmony company. The single-bound scooped double cutaway body has an extended upper cutaway and eccentrically shaped \"F\" holes, with a headstock shape that mirrors the body. The bound rosewood fingerboard has pearloid block inlay. These are built to a better standard than many earlier Harmony mandolins, and remain an excellent value in a vintage American-made mandolin.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 27 1\/8 in. (68.9 cm.), 10 1\/16 in. (25.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 13\/16 in. (4.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/8 in. (29 mm.). Very clean overall, all original; some wear through the finish to the sides of the neck in the low positions but otherwise looks little played. There is a bit of binding shrinkage on the back\/side seam in the upper waist, and some small marks in the finish under the strings by the tailpiece. The clamshell tailpiece cover is missing (as most are!), otherwise the mandolin is unaltered and complete. A very nice playing example of one of Harmony's better 8-string creations. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852991910028,"sku":"5707","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_e8e85eac-a6d6-4b04-af58-61708d17de78.jpg?v=1774329718","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/harmony-h8025-arch-top-mandolin-1972-5707","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
