Stella?

[dfs69]

A friend of my son has an old Stella Acoustic. Decent guitar for seeming very old. The "Stella" is a sticker w/ a crown. I think its dreadnaught shaped flat top. Any one w/ knowledge of these? Thanx!

I believe the Stella guitars were made by the original Harmony Guitar company (not the same as the current Harmony name brand). As I recall, they were a somewhat lower priced guitar than the Harmony line-up (various archtops and the Sovereign flat top).

Here's a link to some information about the Harmony Stellas (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://members.aol.com/Rothguitar/Harmony/stellaIV.jpg&imgrefurl=http://members.aol.com/Rothguitar/Rothguita30.html&h=600&w=400&sz=24&tbnid=s7YXp0N4JM4J:&tbnh=132&tbnw=88&start=60&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstella%2Bguitar%26start%3D40%26svnum% 3D50%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26newwindow%3D1%26safe%3Dof f%26sa%3DN) that might be of interest.

And a few pics. :)
