These pictures were taken at Ruokangas Guitars a few years ago.

Neck repair by Juha Ruokangas

The neck also had to be reset. The fretboard (ebony, very unusual on a Harmony) was planed and refretted. The neck repairs alone cost more than a good used Stratocaster, but the quality of the work was worth it. This might never rate very high in collector's appeal, but might well be the best-playing (as well as the most expensive) H62 in existance.
