This is a comparison between my recent Resto-Mod Harmony H1260 (X-braced, Maple bridgeplate, thinned top) and a ‘64 Gibson J45, a ‘75 Martin D-35 (with Fwd shifted scalloped braving) and a Martin Custom 0000 M-36.

You decide, they are Apples, Oranges, Peaches and Pears… but the Harmony holds her own, IMO, for a budget 60’s Dept Store guitar!
