A Harmony H19 offset solidbody in red-to-black sunburst, offered as a project lot together with three tortoiseshell pickguard assemblies stamped on the back "Mfg'd By Rowe Ind. Inc." (Rowe was DeArmond's manufacturer) and factory-dated January 25 1965, June 1965, and October 25 1965. Two of the guards are loaded, each with a pair of grille-style pickups and a complete wiring harness — pots, switch, and jack; the third guard is empty. The guitar itself currently has no pickups, pickguard, or electronics installed and no bridge fitted; the vibrato tailpiece is present. Meter-tested: the January 1965 guard assembly shows continuity from pickups through to the output jack; the June 1965 guard's pickups show continuity through the switch, with a fault between the controls and jack (pot or solder joint). Coils on both guards conduct. Finish wear and chips throughout, consistent with a project instrument. Sold as a single lot — the guitar and parts will not be separated. Offered as-is from a private collection; the fit of the assemblies to this body has not been confirmed. Cardboard case included.
