This is a really striking guitar with hand-wound gold foil mini-humbuckers. The flame maple top looks great. I imported it from the USA at fairly significant cost. This may well be the only flame maple Harmony Silhouette in the UK - they weren’t
It’s lightweight, weighing 7lb 5oz (3.3kg)
It has a small dink near the jack socket and a couple of other imperfections that are photographed. Otherwise, it is in really good condition. These imperfections came to me from the shop. There isn’t any play wear as far as I can see.
It has recently been restrung with D’addario NYXL 10s. The only new one in stock (Slate Grey) is listed for £1,649(!) at Andertons.
Here’s some info from Harmony

Harmony Comet - £950 (PPG/Bank Transfer) including UK postage
This is well made and sounds great. It weighs just 6lbs (2.7kg).
I’ve had it from new and I’ve hardly played it as it is pretty similar to the Harmony Rebel. There are a couple of very minor imperfections, but nothing that I can really photograph.
It comes with a great quality mono vertigo case.
These are out of stock in the UK with a waiting time of over three months - the new price is £1,499.
I’ve recently restrung it with D’addario NYXL 10s.
Here’s some info from the manufacturer:
Inspired by the original Harmony H72 of the '60s, the Comet represents the very first semi-hollow electric guitar in our lineup of cherished musical instruments.
This double cutaway guitar has an immaculately carved genuine mahogany top and back for warm, well-rounded and acoustic-like tone. The addition of a center block minimizes feedback, and the long-tenon set neck construction increases sustain.
Custom gold foil humbuckers provide sheer musical enjoyment for players who love rock, blues and more, while the push/pull master volume pot extends the Comet's tonal possibilities by engaging incredible out-of-phase sounds.
A six-in-line headstock pays homage to the original H72's iconic look, and premium hardware ensures that the Comet will never lose its appeal.
