Kyle's Guitar Review - Chopper's White Harmony

Chopper's White Harmony

Chopper brings this guitar to a video shoot and tells me that "this (white Harmony) guitar is the first guitar I ever owned." I'm guessing it cost him around a hundred bucks, but there is no price for something this sentimental so he adds "so be careful." It has all 6 strings on it, though they were significantly out of tune. A half hour attempt to try and tune it was interrupted when I stepped in a hornets nest, and I wonder it it will ever be tuned again. If so, this Harmony might have decent play. The action is pretty high and it is painful to try and make a chord, but I have a feeling it sounds really nice. I think about Eric Lagrange's little Teisco Tulip guitar and how crappy of a guitar it should be and how awesome it sounds. I say that because these were manufactured a dime a dozen. BUT they were manufactured a dime a dozen when manufacturing a guitar was a better quality than we see in modern plants. More hands on work, when Japanese and Americans competed for industry.
This is the lightest guitar I have ever the pleasure of holding, or perhaps it was surprisingly heavy, I can't remember. Either way, the weight makes it an easy guitar for a plant vine to snag it out of my hands before the forest devours me. Overall I give it a rating of: "Pretty Sweet"
