I came across a 1953 Harmony H950T that looks to be in really nice shape but I have not gone to see it yet. Estate find that somebody else snapped up. Says the neck is straight but the action seems a bit high at .18 gap at the 7th. He bought it strung at DGBE (Chicago tuning) and has not messed with anything. Has an original DeArmond monkey on a stick pickup. If I pick it up my concern is that if I string it up to straight tenor tuning CGDA....am I raising pitch/tension or decreasing it. I have heard some bad things about old Harmony Tenor necks warping with added tension.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Tony
