$20 Dollar Guitar...Silvertone? Stella?*

[j45syounennba]

Good looks & sound guitar !!

[sonicalsonics]

Sweet sounding guitar! I am getting vintage acoustic cravings now. Seems you can pick those old guitars up fairly cheaply too :)

@sonicalsonics Thanks. I got lucky here . they are more than 20bucks

most of the time this one is good for blues.

I have a 50's or 60's Kay that's small bodied like that.

In my opinion, those small bodied guitars have the true Delta tone, because that's what those old dudes were using, especially Stella.

When they got rediscovered in the 60's they had Guilds, for those folk festivals.

I don't know but I imagine Guild gave them the guitars, because a whole bunch of old dudes were now using Guilds instead of small bodied stella and junky guitars.

Some had Old Nationals and Dobros.

@aynrandy1 That's a cool comment. you should do one on

your old Kay . Love to see and hear it . Thanks

My first wooden guitar looks almost exactly the same as that one. The only differences are the design of the (painted on) fret markers and mine still has the name painted on the peghead. It reads, "Stella Harmony". Even the finish, the screw-mounted pickguard, and the tailpiece are identical. The bridge on your guitar is probably a replacement. My parents bought mine new for me in 1967 for $30. I still have it. Enjoy your old guitar. Thanks for letting us see and hear it.

damn for a cheap guitar it sounds great :D

[sesamealley]

nice little tune, and great sound.

[fngrpkn06]

I bet ya that would make one fine bottleneck slide guitar, sounds authentic.

[luckydebi]

not bad for 20 dude you did well

[liveinkindnesslivewi]

this and that song its the blues people..we all play the same thing different

[jhankri]

I think like h929 or 928 is right like the fellow before said. I have a similar one that someone removed the tailpiece and changed the bridge on it. I'd like to put back the way it was some time. Is that actually marked made in japan?

[jhankri]

Some kind of variation on a harmony stella. I tried to post a link to a site in this post but it wouldn't take it so I sent you an email. sounds great.

[MrBasementJams]

what song is that!?

[12Radius]

@MrBasementJams Just a little tune I made up.

[redandwhite12]

@12Radius Sounds very similar to Jimi's acoustic Hear my Train a Comin'. Good job man :)

[redandwhite12]

@12Radius Sounds very similar to Hear my Train a Comin' acoustic. Nice job man :)

[12Radius]

@redandwhite12 Thanks , wow Jimi .....

[Mlanding1]

@MrBasementJams parts sound like "rollin' and tumblin"

[bradholy]

i have a "kingston" just like this that i got for the best 60 bucks i ever spent.. the oval mark on the headstock is the same shape as the "kingston" logo

[bbqlips]

....you made a $20 guitar sound like a million bucks!

[CraigSpannier]

Cool, i have the same one

[RcUniverseGuy]

[Jamesbond22855]

Stella harmony h929 or h928 i believe

[12Radius]

@Jamesbond22855 Thanks for the tip on that.

[Fishpigg]

how many steps /semitones?

[12Radius]

@Fishpigg about 21/2

[Fishpigg]

Is that regular tuning?

[12Radius]

@Fishpigg down a few steps. yes rrgular

[MrSonnyCheeba]

Looks like it could be a Del Rey.

[Piranha900]

True blues sound. Try play with bottleneck on this guitar. I thing, that is good for slide play. :)

[12Radius]

@Piranha900 Yes U are right this is good for slide , Thanks, keep your Blues playin.... TOO.

[MrBellsBlues]

Seriously thought you were using a slide at one point. Soulful playin.

[12Radius]

@SilvertoothSlim Thanks.

[TheBluesBeggar]

That could do some serious old delta blues stuff.

[BrokenRRT]

I love the way it looks! If you ever want to sell it let me know. I will give you a fair price.

Thanks for posting your videos for all of us to watch. I think you sound great!
