This Harmony steel guitar was purchased in 1964 in Toronto, Ontario for $99.50 (Canadian). It is a 1963 Roy Smeck model lap steel guitar and comes with its original case and original slide. It stays in tune nicely and the pickup sounds fantastic when played through a tube amp. The volume knob is a lever that allows you to swell the volume as you pick. Roy Smeck was a great slide guitar player and this was his signature instrument.
