Thanks Michael ... I'll check Guardian out.

Jud - Guardian makes a lot of different size cases at a pretty good price. Not sure if they have the size you are looking for.
Been trying to send you a message but the system won't let me.

Anyone here have a suggestion for a case that will hold a Harmony Sovereign comfortably?  Mine will not fit into a standard dreadnought case ... too thick in the waist and broad in the butt.

Hey you Harmony folks.

I don't normally post here.  I don't have a Harmony guitar.  But I saw The Mountain Goats play last weekend and front man John Darnielle was playing a really sweet Harmony guitar.  I have no idea what model, but it sounded great.

Here is another great article on the H1260 that the picture below was taken from!

The pin through bridge took it from being "restored" right to being repaired, but boy what a great job and difference it made!  Around here, a proper neck reset and refret would set you back about $600...the neck and bridge on mine are in really great shape, but then I keep medium strings on it tuned a whole step down and have for a long time!

Edward ...wonder what a job like that costs?  Mine badly needs neck reset, but is otherwise in mint condition.  Wouldn't mind a new pin-through bridge in the process.

Hey, here is a great website and video of the restoration of an H1260!  Check it out!
