I was given a harmony guitar for Xmas on my 17th birthday. It was all mahogany, sounded like it was SOLID mahogany, but I learned to play on it. Then bought a little requinto in Tia Juana for $20, which I bargained hotly for. It had a great sound but came apart so often I finally got tired of having it patched up. I wish I still had it, now that even my little Martin parlour guitar is getting too thick in the neck for my dodgy left hand.
