was retired in 1967/8, there were two flat tops on the down side price and

The 615 was introduced in 1963 and remained a
popular mid-range guitar throughout its five-year lifespan; by the time it was
retired it was advertised as "our most popular full size birch Flat Top."
Budget features like painted fret markers were coupled with the fancier look and
durability of a floating bridge and tailpiece for a versatile, good looking
guitar.
Still widely available on the auction and secondhand market, this Harmony-built
guitar remains popular.
