Harmony Bobkat (EDIT: Silhouette)?

[devnulljp]

What's the going rate for a harmony Bobkat these days? Good condition, with the cardboard-ish case?
Like this one?


Thanks

These may give you some idea of value,but they're the non trem model.

Cool, thanks. So, the trem model would be more?
(I found one, but I think the asking price is a bit high).
Cool little guitars.

Did some further digging as I could not find a Bobkat with that trem. Turns out the guitar in the picture you posted is not a Bobkat,it's a Silhouette, which is a higher value model then the Bobkat.



Sorry for the confusion.

Looks exactly like an H-19 to me. Hard to tell from your picture, but no brand name on it? That wouldn't be unusual as Harmony sold a lot of their guitars to other distributors with either another brand name on them, such as Silvertone and many others, or no brand name at all. The pickups are not DeArmond Gold Tones. They look like this.



The ones in the H-19 are referred to as DeArmond gold foil "Mustache" pickups due to the mustache shaped cutouts on the tops. Very cool sounding and sought after pickups. People pay silly money for them when they come up on eBay.

Big time value killer. I wouldn't say it's totally impossible to find that particular pickup for sale, as I have seen a couple of them on eBay, but you rarely see them. It could be a very long time before you find a replacement. Considering the missing pickup,I think the asking price is ridiculous.
