Special thanks to Dan Schwalbe for posting information about this first video on the Twin Cities Blues Discussion Board.

Never seen these two together live, but thanks to YouTube and a few bootleg CDs I can listen to these cats anytime I want.

This new line features some very cool and sought after guitars like the Stratatone, Rocket, Meteor, and Artist Series and are selling within the $600-$1000 range. Some of the true vintage models from the ’60s are going for $1500 and more on eBay.

Hopefully these new vintage series guitars play as well as the ’60s models do. A few years ago I found a great Harmony H63 signed by Junior Watson in Willie’s American Guitars for only $800.00. Even though I didn’t have the money to pay for i I bought the guitar. Sadly, after a week of owning my “dream” guitar the guilt of the purchase and pending overdue rent payment I had to return the guitar. Now that is what I call the blues.

Would you buy a new Vintage series Harmony? Leave your thoughts in the comments section!
