New old Stella

[Andymccann]

Thought I would share my latest acquisition. Very early Stella. Spruce and mahogany. Rare. How about that rope binding!
I have played many Stellas but this is something else! Still the classic Stella punch but also rich creamy over and under tones with lots of sustain. I’m a happy boy.
As a bonus it has a straight neck and no bellying. This is a new experience for me

Can’t work out how to post images directly

That is a truly great looking guitar. Well done.

Just looking a little closer there’s 3 tone woods here
Spruce top, birch sides and mahogany back!

Hi there !

Wow, great find ! Enjoy !,

It looks like the great grandfather to the 12-string Fraulini coming my way very soon :

She’s a beaut.
Have you played one before? I’d love to have a shoot out between yours, a Hauver and a Stella

Hi again !

Not sure about Hauver guitars, but with Fraulini's at least, you can specify what woods, trim etc your guitar will be made with.
I haven't played either brands BUT I have heard more Fraulinis - almost all from YouTube videos though - and I feel they REALLY nail the ladder braced sound.
I'll soon find out. My one has a spruce top, white oak back & sides, and Poplar neck.
