Critic Reviews

Stella performance - Vintage expert Paul Brett on the original Blues guitars - Acoustic Review

acousticreview.co.uk

The Stella guitars from the 1920s-1930s, as reviewed by Paul Brett, are celebrated for their historical significance in the Blues genre, notably the jumbo 12-string favored by Leadbelly. These instruments are lauded for their affordability and rich sound, earning the moniker "The Working Man’s Guitars." Highlights include the innovative double neck guitar and the beautiful ‘Tree of Life’ 6-string, known for its intricate inlay and excellent tonal quality. While highly collectible, buyers should be wary of missing original labels due to age. Overall, these guitars are a treasured piece of musical history, capturing the authentic sound of pre-electric blues.
