Francesca six-string:
copy of a Stella Auditorium 6 string from the 1920's. It
has a beautiful, full tone and traditional feel. The neck has an "improved" V
which is my interpretation of the profile found on the old necks. This is a
great instrument for playing solo Country Blues! Hard shell case included.

Stella decal parlor guitar:
I have completely rebuilt this little birch bodied Stella, it is now in great shape,
ready for the next 80 years. Some braces were added to the top, as the original ones
had either failed or were made from inferior wood. It is still braced in the
traditional manner. There is one repaired top crack and one repaired back crack.
There is an old, treble side crack which was repaired long ago that I reinforced with
linen strips. New kerfed lining was added to the back, as the original had failed.
The guitar has it's original frets, tailpiece and tuners. It has a new bridge with a bone saddle and a fresh neck re-set. This is a great sounding guitar, very reminiscent of Blind Lemon Jefferson. The price includes a new hard shell case.

Koa Oscar Schmidt parlor guitar:
This is one of the best Oscar Schmidt guitars that I have ever heard! It has a rich,
resonant tone and is a true joy to play. It's all original except for a new radiused
ebony fingerboard and new frets. The original bridge was retro-fitted with a
compensated bone saddle in order to correct the intonation and improve the tone.
The guitar measures 12 1/2" at the lower bout, 1 3/4" at the nut and has a 24 7/8" scale. The mahogany neck has a rosewood veneer on the headstock and has a fresh neck reset. There are a few repaired cracks on the top and a few on the back as well. A new hardshell case is included. Don't pass up this fantastic guitar!
