...a Stella 12 is on my short list, but are pretty pricey...maybe some day...I have an early Stella 6 string I keep tuned for slide, and play a 31-32 L-00 12 fret in standard tuning. Oddest thing I play is an old banjo/guitar from the 20's made by Orpheum...
: : Jon,
: Thanks for the reply. Actually one of my
: vintage guitars is from Neil Harpe on the
: Stella page. It is a 1929 12-string
: Stella that is in fantastic shape and
: sounds great. Neil is a super person (and
: can really play as a matter of fact). My
: other favorite is a 1937 National Duolian,
: looks worn and played but has a sound that
: peirces you. There are a few others but
: these are the two "gems".

: Hi Brett. If you haven't looked already, try
: www.stellaguitars.com. I'm always trying
: to add to my as yet two-guitar (one of
: which is in shambles) vintage collection,
: but am held back by finances, and my
: obsession in this regard is prewar
: Stellas. Many of the prewar Stellas sound
: just as you want them to: like something
: off a blues 78. Good luck, and, if you
: don't mind, could you list your vintage
: guitars here? I'm always interested in
: hearing what others are playing.

: I have been looking for an early 20th century
: parlor guitar for awhile (no particular
: make or model). I have checked various
: web sites and thought I would see if
: anyone may have one they are looking to
: get rid of or knew of someplace I could
: look that I have not already.
: I have been playing and teaching for years
: and have a pretty decent vintage
: collection already-just looking to add
: another!
: Thanks for the help.
