I am in a discussion with a friend who has a guitar similar to the Harris Fandel Jet. As you can see from the photo, it has a third pickup. Do you have any other information on this model or sources that would answer the question? Last edited: Mar 04, 2015 12:26:23 |

My Fandel is hanging on the wall. I bought it new the Friday after Thanksgiving 1967. It is a decent guitar and I'm glad I've kept it; still looks and plays plays great. For many years, I thought I was the only person that had one of these. |

Cool guitar. One of those sold on Ebay for $899.99 in late October, you can see it if you do a search for completed listings for Harris Fandel Jet. Too rich for my blood though. They have it listed as a Fandel H-F702T "Jet Series". It also has the Fandel logo on the headstock. |

That guitar in the picture was mine until about 1985-86 when I gave it to a friend. My father bought it in Greater Boston area in 1967. The wrong screw is on the back of the plate on the bottom causing it to stick up a little and the switch in the front once had a little red ball on top that was jammed on it when the original cover fell off. The Fandel sticker peeled off the top and I think I put an oversized screw in the strap peg as well because the original one came loose. I think I still had the metal cover for the bridge and the whammy bar into the 1990s. |
