101220B
Harmony introduced the Paramount model back in the 1940s but this is a younger example. The solid, slab sawn mahogany top was imported from an even earlier Harmony and really brings out the tone and volume. This guitar favors a player with medium to large hands and can handle a moderate attack with ease.
