Brand: Douglas Harrison
Instrument Categories: Archtop, Electric, Guitars, SOLD, Thinline
The Douglas Harrison GB thinline archtop guitar has proven very popular with jazz guitarists. Designed with – and originally for – the late Gary Benson and built in Toronto, Ontario, the Harrison GB uses a carved solid spruce top on a chambered back. The neck has a compound radius, from 12 to 16 inches.
This Harrison GB dates to 2007 and is in good working order. It has been used as intended, so there are a few wear marks and dings, notably two small marks on the top at pickup level near the edge. The spruce top has a nice hint of bearclaw and the maple back sides and neck are clearly flamed. There is little visible fretwear. The headplate, fingerboard, tailpiece, pickguard, bridge base and knobs are ebony. The original ebony bridge top is in the case, and has been replaced with a gold TonePros roller bridge, and this has had some silicone added to dampen rattling. The metal parts are gold plated. The tuners are Gotoh 510, and the pickup is a Seymour Duncan SH-1 59 model. The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer with an ‘antique’ tint.
This guitar has been recently set up with 11’s and plays well, with an action height of 6/64ths bass and 5/64ths treble. The original TKL case is included.
