few years ago i bought a brand new £30 quid Chinese made Harmony 'Singing Cowboy' repro..

This is a genuine vintage model:

mine is a very low grade copy..

just white paint stencil artwork..
appalling unfinished fretwork,
cheap nasty plastic adjustable floating archtop bridge,
worst quality tuning pegs..
no truss rod,
the entire body, neck, and fretboard sprayed with a thin layer
of easily scratched matt black paint..
it can just about hold tuning and intonation..

but despite all..
it looks great for punk folk
and has a good loud brash bright tone..


i'll probably screw a neck mounted jazz humbucker to it
and hope it feeds back like a wailing bastard when i crank my amp up
