Harry played in his local band the “Blue Notes” throughout the late 50s and early 60s, including appearances on WTTG’s Milt Grant Show. Subsequently lent guitar to his friend and well-known guitarist Danny Gatton who reportedly changed the strings and tuning knobs before returning to Harry.Original finish, evidence of slight fading.

Replaced rhythm neck pickup with Gibson Patent No, other pickup missing label. Evidence of re-soldering from pickup replacement. Output jack cover possibly replaced, however original Switchcraft jack present. Serial number on neck shows a possible ”2” stamp indicating a minor finish flaw and a factory designation as “second”. Replaced tuning knobs. Case from 1955 Gold Top does not support the neck sufficiently due to different neck angles between the models.Condition
