Mine was "sticker less" but does have a steel rod in the neck, the problem with the Harmony archtops is that the tops are made from either ply or solid birch, neither of which offer much sustain or tone.
They are playable but hardly comparable to a quarter sawn Spruce or Cedar top guitar.
I find that my archtop is ok if you sing or even for a bit or Irish melody, people love to see it in action but honestly it does not really satisfy my ears.
Having said that it is not for sale or likely to be until I die
