I found this old thread from the old site and thought I would give it a go.
Subject: Re: Harmony Guitar Model H6691
Message:
: When was this guitar made and give me any information about it. What is it worth in very good condition?
Hi, I have one of these also H6691 but I couldn't find any info on them at the sites recommended and have searched the net for more info. There is one on E-bay for sale model H6690 but that's all I found. Mine is dreadnaught and very well built, has beautiful tone, and is inlayed with Mother of Pearl around the edges, sound hole, fretboard, and string pegs. These guitars sound great but are hard to play. I've tried adjusting the truss rod but it's maxxed out. Lighter strings are in order. According to the Harmony site if it starts with 66 then most likely it was built in '66 or maybe early '67. If anyone has info on these Please post it! |

Hey Mach, I think I can tell you more than you currently know about your Harmony acoustic.
First, you guitar was built in the 1970's. I have a 1973 Harmony catalog and the highest model number is H6659 so your guitar most likely appeared in 1974-75.
The 66 in the model number doesn't refer to year. H6 stands for "Harmony 6 string" and 691 is the model number. Similarly, a number like H1269 is a Harmony 12 string model 69. This also works with basses "H4", Mandolins "H8", Banjos "H4 or H5" and Ukuleles "H4"
I've got some 1960's Harmony catalogs posted on my website VintAxe.com although I haven't uploaded the 73 yet. If you are interested in seeing it let me know and I'll put it up for you. Cheers, SB |

Hey SB,
Thanks for the info. I had no idea when this guitar was built cause I can't find any other stamps besides the inside label that has the H6691 stamp. The only thing I found in my web searches was this old thread.
That would be great if you could post the catalog info even though it only goes to 6659, I would still like to see what some of those models look like. I have never ran across another Harmony that looks like mine so I'm wondering if it was custom built. Found it in a pawn shop years ago and it still sounds great.
Thanks again,
Mach |
