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.

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.
