It's like if an old Fender Duo-Sonic went through puberty. i want one so bad
If you haven't gotten one yet, get one, I just recently got one and it is such an amazing guitar
The B Roll and post production at the start were great and added to the retro vibe.
✌🏻
Seriously. Just how good was the intro track?!!!!
Sounds great! Love the mini humbuckers. Clarity, even when kind of dirty. I love that!
Yeah me too!
More than any demos on CZcams, and that including guys like Pete Thorn, Brett Kingman, Tim Pierce, etc., I feel like I get a really great idea of what the guitar sounds like in your demos. They are so good...well done!
the intro is so good, please make complete videos with that concept. Great music, Amazing sound and really cool video.
Far out! Awesome!! This might be the first mini humbucker guitar I get
Good choice!
I have a firebird with mini humbuckers and and Telecaster cabronita (filtertrons are smaller than regular humbuckers ) and I've never went back to using full sized humbuckers ever again. Mini-humbuckers are insanely underrated even though they kick ass. They also have a unique raw and compressed sound when overdriven that you can't even get with P-90's.
I definitely want one of these... It's on my Birthday Presents List this year. I'm interested in the H650 Amplifier too
Yes lost in the light by Bahamas
Great tune
I think she's THE ONE. Been in the market for a new electric under $1000 but this one seems like love at first sight think I might suck it up and pay the extra.
Walmart didn't exist back then. The era's big discount department stores (that I recall) were Sears & Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, J.C. Penny. Catalog sales (meaning mail order) of Sears & Roebuck helped build America, not only providing inexpensive musical instruments but entire (disassembled) houses as well!!!
Yeah darnit I meant Sears!
Just ordered one. Damn, I cant wait to play it!
Have fun! Great guitar

Gotta have one of these. So beautiful and unique. Great playing and review.
Hey man...Love your playing and especially all your "QOTSA-tones" vids...I got my Pearl White Silhouette last week...very cool guitar for sure!
Great tone on that 3’s & 7’s!
I have a silhouette in champagne... such a great, fun, surprising guitar! Thanks for the video!
Nice! Love that one too!
Damn I was still looking for a guitar with p90's but those mini humhuckers are also sick man!
Awesome vid as always!
💪🏻
I’m gonna save money
Man when you play Bahamas I shiver
The pickups are not mini HB's which have a single magnetic across the base of both coils. They are Firebird PU's with two magnetics one for each coil sitting on their edge and inserted in the bobbin with the wire wrapped around the magnet. they sound very Strat like.
From the Harmony product page.
Pickup: Custom gold foil mini-humbuckers (Neck & Bridge)
@@commiebitch42 Even in the Harmony spec sheet for this guitar it says mini humbuckers not gold foils. Which they are but it too is misleading.
There is no such thing as a humbucking gold foil. Gold Foils were designed in the first place to be surface mounted and as such would have to have a dummy coil inside the guitar and if they did.It would be a special feature that the marketing guys at Harmony would make a big fuss about in their ads & specs.Go to Sweetwater who sells them and they simply say Humbuckers. They can not afford to get wrong and if they did they would get too many returned guitars. I am a guitar designer with 8 years experience. I am dead if I do not know this sh@t. Look out for my brand LENARD guitars they should be out this year C19 permitting.
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing You're right, there isn't.
Which leads me back to my firste thought, they are either a really bad made "humbucker", in a Firebird/mini humbucker style casing, or a gold foil pickup in the same casing.
If you look on any of the Harmony guitars on their site, they are big on the gold foil term, and it's totally possible to make a gold foil in any of the size pickups they have chosen for their guitars.
As for the Silhouette, the originals had gold foils in them.. I use the term gold foil loosely here.

Me want. Love the slate one. I'd kill to see a fiesta red!
what would be NIIIICE
I’ve had my eye on these for a bit now. Enjoy!
looks and sounds awesome. I want one with a vibrato arm
that would be nice!
Please do a rundown on the HX Stomp patch for this!
MAN that intro sounds Killer! You gotta do a second channel where you just go over your mixes and signal chain/presets; they're always so good! By the way, what amp were you using for the rest of the video?
I've done one mix video quite recently! Hamstead Artist 60 for the rest of the video.
@@LivingroomGearDemos heck yeah; thanks so much! Also, that other video you made detailing your mix with the Dirty Shirley was really eye opening and helpful; thanks a ton!
I know Mike Ness from Social D says he takes the mini humbuckers out of his Les Paul's and throws them in the trash but I am getting some great tone playing Social D covers on this guitar!
This video is a fucking masterpiece
That is a very good looking guitar! Great video!
Thanks!
Nice video man! Tak!
🤝
I hope Thomann will sell these in Europe.
Yeah, hopefully they’ll become more available in Europe soon!
by far the best instrumental i have ever heard you do for this intro. i would listen to this if it was a song, sounds like tame impala, pond and the production was perfect. i would LOVE to know what pedals you user for that intro!
HX stomp
Sweet, the paint has mellowed nicely.
Sorry I ditched your video for Bahamas, but Im back now xP
Nice that it is upgraded but WAY to expensive at $1699 US!
Granted, that’s real money (though I’ve seen them now more like $1300). But for an American made guitar that seems to be really well made and finished and comes with quality parts, that’s a good deal on my opinion. We live in a day and age where a big brand high quality guitar with character (!) is more in the 2500-4000 bracket these days depending on what you expect. Harmony seems to be doing something right here and may put Fender and Gibson on alert in that price segment given the quality control issues you can encounter with them in their “entry level US” instruments. Disclaimer: haven’t gotten my hands on a Harmony yet but I’m more than intrigued with everything I’ve heard and seen so far.
SICKEST intro
theenks
Great Video! How does mini hums compared to Junos P-90 sized goldfoils? Thanks
major tame impala vibe in intro
Haha yes!
Guitar sounds great but you never mentioned the MSRP of this guitar which is $1299. For a made in USA guitar that makes sense and I should hope it plays nicely since it’s competing with Rickenbacker and Gibson rather than the budget Danelectros that it’s shape would have you think it had more in common with.
*Sonic Youth has entered the chat*
Didn't they used to call it the Bobkat?!
I'm sure this is much nicer than those old 'Kats!
Ordered one today from pitbull audio for 1104 shipped!
I have one. I bet you will really like it particularly the pickups.
@@nosferatu7325 it is supposed to be here on Thursday. I'm excited to check it out!
I would have bought that over the Pelham SG Spesh (Gib) I just acquired this month had it been available n my corner of the world (Down Under). I wonder if it's similarly priced... (?). Probably costs 3× as much...although.. it's a pretty simple, straight forward looking build, for all I know it could be going for half...🤷♂️
Anyone care to enlighten me...??
P.S. It's not that I'm displeased with my new Gibson at all - infact, I just love it to bits. But rather, I've my come to like the SG in certain iterations ( *NOT* Cherry!), whereas I have had an unsatiated lust for Jazzmaster-y type offset guitars for many years.
These are $1299
And a lot of people are selling them new for 1100.
Hey buddy. I need your help. I’m trying to start on CZcams, but I don’t know how to record audio and video at the same time. How can I do it? Can you please make a video explaining that? 😞
I agree with this idea
Uriel, what‘s your setup at the moment? What audio and video are you talking? Recording yourself playing guitar or talking into a camera?You need to be more specific. Maybe use the internet first to research what exactly hardware and software you may need. You can still ask questions if it‘s something specific.
What fuzz tone was that at :30 into video,sounded very 60,s sound..
Fantus ftw 🤘🏻
Completely on your side with the strings. I can’t stand anything under .10s. Feels flimsy. Great video and so jealous of that guitar.
Walmart way back in the 60s lol…. Dude you went to Sears & Roebuck
I REALLY like the looks of these, but goddamn are they expensive.
Relative to country not as much, but a bit lacking in the spec department at the price point, for sure. Should at least have a Bigsby.
How does this compare to your Fano PX6? U should do a comparison video!
I should, and I will! Thanks for the tip!
I was all about this guitar until I saw the price tag
Feels a little too "boutique priced" for me. At $200 less, I'd seriously consider one. I feel like an Epiphone Firebird at under half the price will outplay this.
@@Anjohl epi firebird?? No way. :)
Is this guitar good for ambient/textural/lots of pedals music? Better than a jazzmaster?
It's perfect for that. A bit quieter than a jazzmaster
Id love a rundown on the patch. This video is one of the reasons.that convimced me on buyimg the ha stomp
Bahamas lick :-) at 1.54
Bananas 🍌
@@LivingroomGearDemos or Habanas
Whats it weigh?
Oh man I really want one of these but I live in Sweden and there’s no retailers around here.
Tone is amazing. Also link doesn't work in mobile weirdly enough. It takes me to Reverb but it gives me 0 search results
Ah will check! Will have a Sweetwater link up pretty soon instead
Do you find it to be neck heavy at all?
Nope
Which colour is that? White or Champagne?
Great looks guitar
I mention it in the video ;)
Whats the scale length?
25"
what the hell is at 3:20???
what about it?
sorry is this 2020?
Bunch of vague comments dude, let me know what you really want and I’ll try to answer you.

1.299...MIJ Jaguar or Jazzmaster price, cool guitar but...little overpriced
Not to even mention J.Mascis Squier for less than half the price
I think it might depend where in the world you are. It is USA designed and built by an established high-end company (Heritage) in an established production centre previously owned by Gibson and comes with an expensive pro Mono case. Based on prices in the UK, this is the cheapest guitar with these specs I'm aware of.
@@moisie13 The J Mascis Squier is great for the price, but this Harmony is a far superior guitar in quality of components and craftsmanship. Orange capacitors, Plekd frets. Nitro. Compensated saddles, Made in Kalamazoo ... gosh it is almost too cheap! I have a champagne one and it's going to be a keeper.
@@MagoEge absolutely! These new Harmonys are superb. Many people are completely wrong by saying it is overpriced. 🤷
fkn super 8!
