Oscar Schmidt "Stella" Jumbo Six String
| SOLDAlong with the jumbo 12-string, this Oscar Schmidt jumbo six string, ranks among the rarest of desirable vintage acoustic guitars. At 15 5/8" across the lower bout, very few Stella 'jumbos' ever appear on the market. Additionally, this is the first Oscar Schmidt guitar we've ever seen with an all mahogany body. Likely from Schmidt's lower line of instruments, this guitar is spartan in it's appointments..sporting only a white sound hole binding and four position dots, otherwise, a plain Jane. But don't be lulled by it's plainness; with it's huge mahogany body and nearly 26 1/2" scale length, this thing can roar! The 12-fret, ladder braced guitar spent it's life thus far set up for Hawaiian slide playing, because there is absolutely no wear on the frets or fingerboard, and the frets are numbered in white, as is commonly seen on guitars from this era. The guitar is all original except for nut (original in case), saddle (ditto) and end pin. Although not marked, the guitar sports the typical Schmidt-made features: square top kerfing, heel profile and headstock shape. The guitar is a pleasure to play, is assertive in it's voice, and rings with a loud and clear tone..not for the faint of heart, nor those with small hands and short arms!
