1927 Paramount Guitar Banjo Harp
Only one I've ever seen
The only feature it shares with it's "Harp" brethren (who all have
wooden tops instead of skin heads) is the word "Harp" in it's name.
Other than that it's a Guitar Banjo folks, but a darn nice one with
the typical Paramount construction and tone ring.
Note the "Arrow" theme is continued from the Logo on the peghead to
the engraved pearl inlays on the fingerboard.
Also note the solid brazilian rosewood neck !
The rim is mahogany with plenty of purfling and marquetry.
With the bridge position so far back the volume is sacrificed a bit
but a wide tonal range is available with Strat spankiness included.
And that peghead has as much ripple as the Greatful Dead.
