Please add my instrument to the registry. I will snap some photos and post them when I am able. I just pulled it out of the case, and even though I haven't touched it for many months, it only needed a few minor adjustments and it was tuned up. Amazing instrument.

I looked inside the instrument, and the back is made of one piece with no ribs. I seem to recall that one of the reasons I bought this instrument long ago was I liked its tenor voice. It still has a sweet soprano sound, but it really sings on the lower strings.

Again, my SN is 2109-10. Mine looks something like the one in the JPG posted (third listing, guitar on the left) shape-wise, but I have simple ivory buttons on the fingerboard. None of the big fancy rectangular blocks. I definitely have the big cutout in the head, however. With the short body, it would look disproportional without the extension of the neck.

Best regards.

In regards to a serial number registry. I'm collecting detailed photos showing current conduction and serial numbers of any Standel/ Harptone, Harptone and Yamiki series 800 guitars which Harptone made and exported in the last couple of years of production. The record of serial numbers was lost when Standel went out of business and when Harptone sold their interest the Sturgill family who also bought Microfrets of Maryland and moved operations to Independence, Virginia, under the name of The New River Music Company.
Please message me if you wish to add yours to my list.

It is still, this many years later, a great sounding instrument. Thanks for providing the estimated value. I'm guessing that my guitar is in average condition - it's got scratches from being played.

"Koontz designed some large flat-top acoustic and archtop electrics, and some basses, for Standel. These were manufactured in the Harptone factory in Brooklyn, a company best known for its guitar cases, but which had made guitars on and off beginning in the 1920s. The Koontz models are easily recognizable by their architectural headstocks with a big circle cutout at the top. Reportedly, only a few hundred of these Standels were ever produced. Following the end of the Standel-brand, Koontz continued making archtops and flat-tops for Harptone, basically the same guitars carrying their brand name. These were made until the mid '70s, when the trade name passed to the Diamond S company, which also owned Micro-Frets."

Here's some Harptone pics for those who are interested.Nice looking instruments.
