Harmony made a classic guitar back in the mid-Fifties that sold for $55.00, and it was a pretty darn good instrument. I had a Martin 00-28-G at the time, and I used a Harmony as a second guitar. Good action, the dimensions were exactly the same as the Martin, and the tone was acceptable. I had a lot of guitar students who started out on them, and one of my former students was still playing his thirty-five years later. Great value for the money.Don Firth
