Harmony Silhouette - The Vintage Style Offset You've Been Waiting For!

[@AtacamaHumanoid]

I really don't miss Chappers' metal solos on any and every guitar. :)

[@fetusmunch]

havent watched this channel in a while, is he not around anymore?

[@fetusmunch]

@@AtacamaHumanoid anywhere on youtube i can see that unfolding or summarized? i am definitely not surprised, he always gave me that vibe

[@fetusmunch]

@@AtacamaHumanoid holy shit hahahah this is amazing, im gonna get caught up on this lore, i appreciate you going through the trouble for me, and i do not fear the amount of time it will take to watch the videos, you and i are communicating via youtube comments, do you think i have anything better to do?

[@rlmcdo]

Is it me or has the Captain developed into an amazing guitar player? Man, that sounded good! Kudos!

[@calvinevans6347]

I own one, and it is worth every penny!!! It's not cheap feeling or sounding. I'm happy to have it.

[@FloridaManRacer]

Hey Lee, no BS, that was some of the nicest soloing I've seen you do at the end of this vid. Great feel.

[@shamsuranuar4658]

Gave me earworms. :)

[@FloridaManRacer]

21:21 on. Really, REALLY nice stuff man.

[@shorter95]

I've been watching you guys for probably ten years at this point and Lee, you're playing just keeps getting better. Pete you're always a charmer too. Thank you all for so many incredible videos over the decade

[@KateMossferatu]

The headstock perfectly incorporates the Firebird vibe, while the pickguard additionally reinforces the Mustang shape. All around, this design coherently harmonises offset classics whithout itself feeling any less classic. Well done, design and R&D team!

[@Ndlanding]

Pity they sound shite.

[@anthonypyanoe6452]

Got my a few months ago!!! Love it. She sounds great in dropped tunings. The bright voice cuts nicely through the mix.

[@bertvandersanden2008]

Got mine one year ago. No regrets what so ever. Build, specs, looks, playability and tones are top-notch. I love the pickups. The mini humbuckers are very versatile and suit most stiles. Love you're playing as always.

[@simoneric8183]

Yes I agree with you. Unique mix of gritty metallic tones and clear dazzling scratchy notes... If I had some money left I'd by one Silouhette... to plug into a tweed set on some crunchy tones... I'm sure they would be the perfect pair.

[@calebtylershepherd21]

This jam at the end was just absolutely stunning! That’s totally my jam right there. That was album worthy for sure.

[@alexking5280]

Love how Pete NEARLY gave us burning room 😤😂

[@buschovski1]

Lee has a lot of character in his playing. Its unique. It doesnt sound like everybody else

[@SlimeyGuitarStrings]

I swear the Silhouette is one of the best looking new guitars since I started playing about 10 years ago.

[@digitalchris6681]

Whaaaat ??

[@latexgeneration]

The guitar has been around since the the 60’s…

[@endezeichengrimm]

It does look nice. The arm contour is also a nice touch for comfort.

[@mralgebro]

The outro Jam was so good. One of my favorites for sure. The way Pete set the groove and then Captain was so tasteful. What a nice back and forth. 😮

[@redrock1963]

Best line ever..."you're the player, I'm just the "fluffer".... LMFAO

[@robbyray]

Got a chance to play one of these at a local music shop. I was blown away by the quality, feel, and most importantly, SOUND. Incredible instruments! Love the pickups. Great playing, too! Especially the outro jam!

[@krazyolie]

I picked up one of these, happy with it.

[@dlpz2005]

Picked up one of these (in the States) after eyeing one for a year and I'm so bummed I waited. Fit and finish is between my Gibson LP Trad Pro and Fender EJ Strat, so I feel like it's probably priced a tad conservatively even. The mono bag is excellent. The pickups/electronics are my favorite part; very usable/sweet tones and the pots have a nice, wide sweep to them. Not sure if they all have this, but I love the subtle flaming on the back of the neck as well. Just a joy to play!

[@nicolasisaksson1175]

The captain's playing is on fire.

[@christopherweise438]

Nicolas Isaksson. Totally! i would definitely buy an instrument from a shop owner that could play that well.

[@christopherweise438]

@@rodd1000 - I'm a drummer. I never said i was smart. ;-)

[@monco3512]

The 'Ambient Tones' part is basically Lee remembering he likes to play guitar. 😉

[@AviMus82]

I’m absolutely stricken by this guitar. I’m going to be getting one very soon.

[@johnwelch557]

Aww Lee, best expression ya just can't buy! You guys are musically top end. Another intro/outro for the new album release. Mini HB may be the best all around pickups. I always lamented Harmony's change to higher end pricing but they are made well. Thanks fellas, or is it Sir Fellas?

[@myguitarsandme]

I really just tune in for the jam. I have my eye on a Yamaha Revstar at the moment. Having said that, it must also be said that the Captain is really holding his own with his solos. He's very rhythmic and tasteful. Well done Lee! As for Danish Pete, he just makes it all look so easy. Great funky opening jam!

[@Okwolus]

Same, saving for a 502 or 502T, those P90s and the finish are insane for the price.

[@davidthomas5035]

Wow Cap! Nice work! Liked the comment about the singer being able to hold down the rhythm and sing without having to focus so much on the guitar. Might have to pick one of these up.

[@dancrowe7860]

Super tasty outro jam! Love the little riff fills. Thanks for another great demo!

[@elevenAD]

These sound amazing! and they look great! Im blown away!

[@bingobango4840]

One of the best outro jams I've ever seen from you guys. You should turn it into a song and record it.

[@Tiger1016.]

I am shocking in love with the attack, snap, and pop from these guitars. Will see if I have second thoughts on my decision earlier today to give a used Tom Anderson Raven a shot.

[@austinwilkens1104]

Absolutely insane feeling at the end! Great chops to you both! Love harmony guitars!

[@thefisheyedfool6796]

Really good sounding guitars, of course they both have really nice pedalboards with great pedals

[@ratsalad1]

fell in love with the blue one instantly - just wish it had full size humbuckers as that bridge one was a little too harsh for me. lovely guitars

[@emmettpavey8318]

Been saving up for a pearl white Silhouette for about 3 months. This video just affirmed that plan. Great playing, outro sounded awesome. These guitars are a great deal at the price point.

[@spud2go]

Juicy jam at the top & the tail of this vid - Harmony getting a great start out of the gate here. Props to The Captain & Danish Pete for some tasty sounds - makes me wanna buy one!

[@andyb56york]

Hey Captain, there was some incredible phrasing going on in the outro solo. Nice!

[@steadfastanddomino]

Wow! That's some good stuff. You guys were bringing it that day.

[@fredherrmann3241]

Regardless of earlier comments..these are beautiful 🎸 s.

[@ryanturner9509]

Superb outro jam. One of my favourites. Beautifully noodled there Lee. Not a speck of fluff in sight sir 😉

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Do not let the PU gold cover fool you there is an vintage spec Firebird PU under it. Keep in mind the guitars is made at the very same factory the the first Firebirds were made in. In fact they still have a lot of the original Gibson machinery. The guys doing the detailed hand work on these Harmony's learnt from the guys that made all those killer 50's Gibson's

[@Adamjpx]

That outro jam was great, couldn't help but get involved with it and play along!

[@st3w]

St. Vincent played a 1960s Harmony H15 / H17 Bobkat before her Musicman signature

[@mclarensmps]

Really digging the jam at the end, guys!

[@dejct]

Omg this thing is insanely gorgeous! I love this shape so much, holy shit!!!

[@BillDutton]

I have one in the champagne color. These are really fantastic guitars and an amazing value for a high quality USA made guitar.

[@clevertrevor7360]

Does the Silhouette suffer from neck dive ?

[@BillDutton]

@@clevertrevor7360 No neck dive at all. Really comfy guitar to play sitting or standing.

[@ryanturner9509]

Yep Lee, there is a definite Billy Bo thang sneakin around those babies. I reckon candy apple with a brushed aluminium pick guard would look sweeet!

[@kjwelch27]

I just bought a 1970 harmony electric guitar. It’s in mint condition and sounds epic. Even got the original whammy bar

[@buschovski1]

Do these sound as good? Im really thinking of buying one.

[@cjleavitt17]

I found your backing tracks on Amazon Music. Those are fun to Jam along with. I like how Lee is more of an ambient player. That style is straight from the heart and shows a different range of Guitar tones.

[@LJN71]

Cool guitars, great playing and two of the most likeable people on all of KZbin. What’s not to like?😀👍

[@deBebbler]

Holy Mackerel, Lee!! Love your licks in the outro jam. Great phrasing. Methinks someone has been practicing off camera. Nicely done.

[@jameshumphrey2345]

I hear “Tele” and “Jazzmaster” mentioned, but to my ear the tone is closer to the Jaguar range. A simplified Jaguar, of course, without the extra circuits and stuff.

[@nimbly1693]

My brothers first guitar was a Harmony Chinese Strat. I had no idea they came back and are making American guitars!

[@Raspyist]

on the web site it says these come with cases not gig bags, also FYI if you select Harmony as the brand on the electric guitar page only the Comet comes up. This is actually a big problem with the web site in general, it's very hard to find many guitars, often only being able to find them if you happen to the know the name and use the search input, or if they come up in the related products tab.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

I want this in navy! I wanna play post-punk with it. This guitar sounds so sexy.

[@JoshuaC923]

They do look like a cross between the Squier 51 and Jazzmaster

[@brooksroman2918]

It’s basically a non-reverse Firebird, and it’s badass.

[@Zrill52]

The mini humbucker is Jason in the golden fleece

[@JohnKelly2]

That outro needs to be laid down! I seriously wish Andertons would put out an album their jams.

[@jimperry4420]

I have an old firebird looking Harmony with a wood bridge that basically is held down by the strings. Late 60’s early 70’s I’m guessing.

[@pierremystique5335]

Great intro, fellas. Feelin the funk

[@Mark_Ocain]

Nice guitars.. Nice plug and play jobbies. Nothing fancy and some nice snappy tones in there. These would be great utility guitars, they have plenty of snap and a little more moody tone from the neck pickup that's pleasant.

[@josephharrison7914]

Those look amazing

[@igavehimadollar3354]

oh man i didnt need to see this they look and sound amazing

[@FrankFurther]

Reminds me of a fret king esprit 5 I used to own. Looks and sounds great!

[@sidestyle05]

Looking forward to a review of the Harmony Comet. I'm in the market for a unique semi-hollow.

[@TheStratfanatic]

I think you two compliment each other and you seem to bring out some great tones...Road show in the future?

[@psp777]

Hmmm interesting. Nice playing as always. I would rather have EBMM Mariposa or Albert Lee model for a similar vibe, but more $$$

[@HenritheHorse]

Didn't know Omar had gone to work with EBMM! Pretty cool guitar.

[@aniquinstark4347]

Strong contender for a surf guitar

[@_dmfd]

I found out that these are made by the same factory that makes the American Rickenbackers, but still these are pretty pricey for what they are... And I love old Harmony arch tops and such. I personally feel these are about $350 over the mark... but hey, that's just my opinion. Glad to see they revived them at least!

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

I love mine...has all the appointments you would find on a boutique guitar like a Fano..or Kauer...at a fraction of the price👍

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

If you guys would google Harmony Silhouette - bobcat you'd find that this design started in 1966/67 in sunburst with real goldfoil pickups and a crap bridge. It was my and probably many other guys first guitar

[@jag1099]

Always enjoy the videos. I would appreciate you mixing up the amps tho. The Orange and the BadCat are sitting in the middle but don’t get used!

[@KellenGod]

super interested in the Comet's tonal variety

[@Scott__C]

So are the pickups made in the US too or is it like the PRS S2 line with the body and neck made in US but all the components sourced from overseas? Just a curiosity. Also, they seem a good value since some of the PRS S2 are really getting up there in price.

[@roymontero4066]

Google the difference between made in usa and assembled in usa

[@GuitarSlimJunior]

Was wondering the same thing.. at least if and where I can buy them!! I’m a lefty who retails these guitars and everything these guys are saying is true. Just phenomenal guitars.. I would buy these PU’s for my lefty guitars if I could. That’s how good I think they are.. they don’t do lefties sadly.

[@madeitboom2744]

Hi guys, just a quick question. What guitar stands is it that you use with the auto closing neck surrounds below the headstock?

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Really can't decide if I like it or not, such a mish mash of a lot of different guitars 🤔 offset tele sprung to mind as soon as I saw it.

Do you guys sell those chairs?

[@leightnite3056]

Best I've heard the Cap'n yet! Really diggin those axes, but they're headstocks make em look more student editiony I feel. Maybe a little more glam on the stock?

[@ForeverDownByLaw]

Body shape is very similar to a vintage Danelectro Hornet, I have a '67.

[@spleantrampoline]

I have a harmony from 1964. I had to build a new bridge for it as the original cracks in half. Made from wood. I made a new one out of hickory

[@pandorski35000]

Did the cap' start to sing "alouette, gentille alouette" ? how does he know about this song ? it's as if i knew humpty dumpty

Very reminiscent of the fender Toronado.

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

Yup..I have owned quite a few reverse and non reverse Firebirds...My Silhouette plays better, sounds better and stays in tune better than all the Gibbys.. Still think Firebirds look better!

[@stephencholette1067]

Yeah I'd totally get one. Especially love the white. I play goth rock/metal and recorded with a Danelectro 58 reissue, you can play anything on anything and these "vintage" type guitars add a very unique feel to dark/heavy music ie Chelsea Wolfe.
