Selling my vintage 1965 Harmony Bobkat H15. From Surf to Grunge, this is the guitar! It's lightweight, short-scale, and packed with gritty, lo-fi tone from its original gold foil-style pickups. Original case included.
Made in Chicago by Harmony, the H15 was marketed as a student guitar in the ‘60s. I bought one just like it for my first guitar in 1977. But today, these are sought-after for their killer tone, vibe, and playability.
