Get to know them!





From one of the oldest instrument manufacturers around, the Harmony Jupiter solidbody electric guitar delivers evocative tone, masterfully crafted lines, and big value all around. The single-cutaway body style is instantly familiar, but the Jupiter stands out from the pack with a dynamic pair of custom gold-foil pickups with rich, evocative tonality. A hand-filling "C" neck profile with a just-right 25-inch scale and glassy, 12-inch-radius rosewood fretboard sets a fantastic platform for a variety of playing styles. The vintage vibe is complete with a classic nitrocellulose lacquer finish and is outfitted with Harmony's iconic Custom Cupcake knobs. And for gigging around town, the Harmony Jupiter includes an ultra-padded MONO Vertigo soft case with hands-free backpack straps.

American made from premium tonewoods





Mahogany and rosewood are a recipe for tonal perfection if there ever was one. And in this way, the Harmony Jupiter doesn't stray from the course. Its single-cut mahogany body joins an rosewood-capped mahogany neck by way of an extremely ergonomic low-profile heel. Together, these create a buttery-smooth response in the hands and an unforgettable playing experience into any low-wattage tube amp in your collection. And just like another legacy American guitar brand, the Harmony Jupiter is handbuilt in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with the right touches of heirloom quality and modern precision.





Gold-foil humbucking pickups





Gold-foil pickups began popping up on student guitars from the likes of Harmony and Teisco in the 1950s and '60s, then saw a brief resurgence in boutique instruments in the mid-2010s. And just like that, as quickly as they came, they were gone again. But the tone maestros at Harmony never forgot the touch response and retro good vibes these pickups were all about. That's why the Harmony Jupiter comes stock with a custom-voiced set of gold-foil humbucking pickups. These pickups exhibit a character ? a bite, a chime, a spank, a spark ? you're not likely to find in other pickup types. Alnico III magnets and Orange drop caps give these humbuckers a nice vintage-y warmth and roundness. If you're looking for classic tone and touch dynamics, you'll find it in the Jupiter.





A proud new chapter in Harmony's handcrafted American legacy





American-made Harmony guitars have been found in the hands of pro musicians and hobbyists since 1892. The Harmony Jupiter is a welcomed return to form for the American instrument company, combining old-world techniques with more than 125 years of technical know-how to bring today's players a taste of its Kalamazoo heritage.
