Harmony Guitars (2019 > Present)

Postby JereFuzz » Fri Jan 24, 2020 12:48 am

What do you guys think of the new Harmony Guitars? I am looking to pick up a new MIA electric and Harmony is winning the race so far. I'm eyeballing either the Jupiter or Juno.

Jupiter:

Juno:

Which direction should I go? The juno first caught my eye but reminds me of a travel guitar. But I love travel guitars, so ...

Love the look of the Silhouette but the only place that sells them is an hour away. I'm not psyched about the mini-humbuckers that look like gold foils and never figured out if they were drop-in replacements for something like Novak's DeArmond gold foil.

I played one of the Eastwood Stratotones (same body shape as the Juno, I think?) and it felt weirdly shrunken to me.

If there's a Google alert @ Harmony HQ for new topics: be super cool if you made a new Rocket with real gold foils.

I love minis and think the gold foil is a nice aesthetic. The Silhouette is a great looking guitar. But the Jupiter has a nice simple body and great headstock. It reminds me of my Kiesel kit guitar headstock:

I really like the shape of the Jupiter. All depends how it plays and sounds though!

Plays and sounds great! Super happy with it! Individual string/note sounds have a very unique sound, I can’t put my finger on it but I like the sound.

I think they look cool, and know people that might really like the idea behind the sound they are going for but I don't see myself ever playing one... :idk:

I believe I stumbled across word that these are built by Heritage Guitars in Michigan. Definitely makes me take them seriously.

Build quality is excellent and playability is great! The neck is round and comfy. It is slick but not lacquery slick, not sticky. The body is thin.
