Custom X Braced 1974 Harmony Sovereign H1204

This is a highly customized Harmony Sovereign model H1204 with solid birch back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top. It came from the factory with straight bracing and a custom guitar luthier, Brian McFarland, took the back off and gave it Martin style X bracing and even a 2 way trust rod. I go over all the items upgraded and explain some that I had to repair.

This video is best listened to with quality head phones or ear buds.

This guitar was a graduation gift to Noah from my good friend Randy, of YouTube's Randy's Rhythm. He knew that Noah was into vintage guitars and wanted to pass it on to him. Check out his channel too, if you are into anything guitars

This is the video that Randy did on X bracing versus ladder braced guitars. This is a very informative and just great video to watch, by my friend Randy:
