Good learning guitar
Bought a second hand silverburst in iffy condition for $117 in high school. Used it as my learning/project guitar and I still have it. Loaded it with a GFS alnico bridge pickup and a covered humbucker from my buddy's busted up Epiphone G400 in the neck. Usually stay on the neck for better output a roundness of tone. Gone through two sets of tuners, but the Schallers I put in a few years ago have held up.

Harmony shut down for a reason
Terrible imitation; a bland sound, never sounds in tune, poor quality crafstmanship, difficult to deal with on account of it being four decades old, requires heavy modification to actually amount to anything. Cool burst, though.

The first Les Paul used in the band, an old Harmony copy soon replaced by a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (not sure what happened to this one). May still have been used for Kool Thing towards the very beginning of the Neil Young tour.
