OK an update. The Harmony has a new home. Apologies to everyone who never got a look in.

The Strat.......

You know when you've owned something for say, 35 years and you've got a bit complacent about it so you think you'll flick it for the shiny new thing? Then reality bites and your stomach wobbles, your knees buckle and sweat drenches the back of your shirt?

Yeah.
That.

Maybe the new harmony owner might want a nice Harmony guitar to go with it!

Missing out is distressing, I do understand. But there's no benefit in cutting off your nose. The pain will fade, I promise.

No pain Slowy, I just think that the two units would be a great match - it would be interesting to see how they sound together.

That might be possible to arrange.
And I was just teasing you. :shifty:
