   OK, I opened my big mouth and said I would accept the challenge of building a guitar "...LIKE a 40's Harmony ..." acoustic.

   I found a Harmony Hawaiian guitar circa 1940's on www.retrofret.com. But, other than that I am coming up empty.

   Where to look? Any comprehensive books with history?

   Fortunately, I have 16 months to meet the delivery date - but, I'd appreciate any leads or information.

Thanks.

I would see if you could find some examples
on ebay. American guitars by Tom wheeler has a few
pages on Harmony. Never heard of a book on Harmony
history. I do remember seeing a web site on
harmony But I don't have a link.
