HARMONY GUITARS - Why I’m OBSESSED with VINTAGE Harmony Guitars - Should YOU be too?

#HarmonyGuitars #VintageHarmonyGuitars #GoldFoilPickups
Harmony guitars were mass-produced and sold under many names including Harmony, Silvertone, Airline and Holiday. Robert Cassard plays the 3 vintage Harmonys he owns then shares the history of the world's largest guitar company.
Harmony made over 10 MILLION guitars in two Chicago factories between 1945 and 1975 (when they went bankrupt).
Mid-and upscale Harmony electrics had a unique and distinctly vintage "woofy" tone, thanks largely to the infamous gold foil pickups, manufactured by another American company, DeArmond (Rowe Industries).
Here are Robert's favorite sources of info on Harmony guitars. May they help you take your own trek to the stars...

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!

In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.

My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.

Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can. https://www.patreon.com/robertcassard
