The action sits around 1/16^th 1^st to less than 1/8^th 12^th. It can go in any direction you desire. Relief is perfect. Rest assured, this is an incredible playing and sounding guitar. 

The Dual DeArmond S-Grille Gold Foil Pickups are astounding. Coming in at 11kΩ, this Harmony Meteor has exceptionally powerful and clear output. The entire harness is 100% Factory Stock guaranteed with Centralab 1MΩ Volume and 250kΩ Tone Potentiometers.

Judging by the body stamps, this Harmony Meteor was assembled in late 1960 with the electronics added and inspected again in early 1961.

All the hardware is perfect and 100% Factory Stock. The 4-ply Beveled edge tortoise celluloid pickguard barely has a scratch. In fact, other than the small scratch next to the neck volume pot, minor checking and light pickguard wear, there is nothing to add to this description for faults. The detailed photographs sum up the rest. 

The Original Geib Plush rayon interior case has slight lifting around a few top edge stitchings and the leather center back strap is torn. Otherwise, it is in excellent shape and odor free.
