Harmony Stratotone | Ep. 20 - Golden Age of Gear
In this episode of Golden Age of Gear, Joey shares the story behind one of the most meaningful guitars in his collection — a vintage Harmony Stratotone once owned by his hero, the legendary Kevin Breit.
From slide inspiration and gear trades to late-night Orbit Room gigs, this guitar’s journey is anything but ordinary. Joey and Derek dig into what makes this Stratotone so special — from its tone and mid-forward punch to its quirky old-school features (including stacked pots and a mystery set of pickups). They also reflect on how certain instruments hold sentimental value through the artists we admire — and how that connection can inspire an entirely different kind of playing.
You’ll hear how this guitar made its way from Kevin to JJ to Joey, get some tones through the D25JL and the Nordvang 83 Drive, and maybe even learn an E7 chord along the way.
