From the Delta Blues to Elvis & Dylan, Harmony guitars were there. Now are valued by todays artists & collectors of Americana for their cool retro looks & sound.

The Harmony Archtop, Flattop Acoustic and Electric instruments along with Harmony Mandolin, Banjo, Steel guitar and others bought through mail order catalogues like Sears & Roebuck were mass produced at the birth of America's Industrial Revolution and enabled musicians like Delta Blues Bottleneck Slide originator Charley Patton or Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker and Elvis Presley to purchase them in remote areas of the country.
