HARMONY ROCKET H59 - Rockin' riffs on a vintage 1965 Hollowbody.

#HarmonyRocket #VintageHarmonyGuitar #HarmonyH59
Robert Cassard demonstrates the sound and playability of a pristine vintage axe — a mint condition 1965 Harmony Rocket, made in Chicago.

Also known as the Harmony H59, this thinline hollowbody beauty was at the higher end of Harmony's electric line during most of the 1960s. This model sports a red burst finish, 3 single-coil DeArmond GoldFoil Pickups, and 6 "cupcake" volume and tone knobs. It's the guitar equivalent of a red velvet cake or a cherry pie...or in automotive terms, a '57 DeSoto!

Vintage Harmony electrics have become popular with guitar geeks seeking authentic vintage tone, and the DeArmond single-coils deliver in a way that's instantly vintage, but funky, too. Influential artists who've played vintage Harmony guitars live include: Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Jack White (White Stripes), Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes), Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) and Ben Schneider (Lord Huron). What a list!

Robert plays and records bluesy licks for a new original called "Cream On Top," using the beefy neck pickup tone in the left channel and a rippin' bridge pickup tone in the right channel.

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
