Harmony Holiday H45 Stratotone Mars Hollow Body Electric Guitar Early 1960s Sunburst w/Padded Gig Bag
This early 1960s Harmony H45 Stratotone Mars, branded in this case as a "Holiday" model for Montgomery Ward, is a lightweight, sunburst-finished, hollow body electric guitar made in Chicago that offers an iconic, funky garage-rock tone favored by 1960s artists.
This comfortable, small-bodied instrument features a distinctive single DeArmond "Hershey Bar" pickup—known for its woody, raw, and highly responsive character—paired with a simple volume and tone control set, with a "tone on/off" slide switch. Its chunky maple neck (reinforced with a steel bar) and short-scale length make it a beloved, versatile player for blues, slide, or roots rock, embodying the quintessential, unpretentious charm of '60s Harmony craftsmanship.
Notes:
This Early 1960s Harmony Holiday H45 Stratotone Mars Hollow Body Electric Guitar is in Very Good condition, part of a single-owner, climate controlled collection, with very light wear (pictured) consistent with age and appropriate use. Includes padded gig bag.
