Up for auction is my amazing vintage 1940s Stella Harmony guitar. But I need to make room for the instruments I do play, in so far as I am not really a collector. The young boy for whatever reason tore off the top to the pick box in the case. The obvious wild strumming of a happy child on Christmas day making a joyous noise in 1967. The only flaw is the faint pick marks on the guitar face made by the pick included in the case. But of course it was not) and the tuning pegs are pristine, no tarnish, no rust. Included is the original case, the hang tag showing the case cost $7.95, a photo of the young man receiving the guitar as a gift(kind of like certificate of authenticity- lol) The guitar still has the sticker of the music store from which it was purchased(looks like it was stuck on yesterday. A Christmas present in 1967 from a young man's grandmother. I have it strung with light guage bronze strings and tuned down to D to reduce the stress on this vintage instrument. It is totally playable and the neck is straight for a Stella with the usual little bit of relief. more It measures 32 inches long and 11 1/4 across the lower bout. Not realizing it was a child's guitar and that it would be too small for me to play comfortably. What a find! I purchased this on ebay a while back.
