Circa early to mid 1920s Stella Auditorium (jumbo) made by Oscar Schmidt. Oscar Schmidt Auditorium (Jumbo) sized six string guitars are exceedingly rare. This guitar has an incredible resonance and its upper mid/highs ring beautifully. This guitar has been rebuilt by Dan Lambert including repairs/enhancements to the original ladder bracing, retaining original wood whenever possible, new ebony fretboard with slight radius, new ebony pyramid bridge, NOS ebony bridge pins, new large frets, and a new bone nut/saddle. Repaired back seam separation and side crack repairs. New Adirondack Spruce top with a French polish finish. Original tuners. Also, two carbon rods have been inserted into the neck to enhance the structural integrity for another 100 years of playing. 4.0" deep at endpin.
