This guitar was made soon after 1935, when the Oscar Schmidt company had recently been reorganized following its namesake's death. The guitar is branded internally on a paper label with the traditional script \"STELLA\" logo; beneath that is \"Fretted Instrument M'F'rs Inc., Formerly Oscar Schmidt, Inc. manufactured since 1879 Jersey City USA\". The label also notes \"Exclusively for �New York\"; unfortunately the wholesaler's name is missing. This instrument was made at the same time at the same factory as the legendary \"Leadbelly\" 12-string (also labeled by FIM) but is not as high-grade a guitar. The \"binding\", soundhole ring and top decoration are all decals but the Stella logo is impressed in the headstock in the Schmidt style. The tailpiece is the original old Stella style with posts to guide the strings, as seen on the 1910's and '20's 12-string guitars.

Everything is original except the bridge saddle, including the tuners, tailpiece and dyed-wood bridge. A number of seams have been resealed, and there are several repaired back cracks and one top crack that is sealed but still quite visible on the lower bass bout. Overall there is fairly heavy finish wear just about everywhere, including wear through the painted-on \"binding\" and the decal decorations to the top. The dyed-wood fingerboard shows wear all the way up to the 12th fret-whoever owned this guitar was not just a \"cowboy chord\" player but a serious fretboard manipulator.

This was used by Gibson in the mid-60's as a dealer-adjustable safeguard for troublesome models (like J-200's and 12-strings) but nearly all have been removed by now, as they add nothing to the guitar except a lot of weight!

There is a repaired back crack on the treble side of the center seam, and two center back braces has small repairs just above it. The back of the neck shows a repaired seam running under the bass side truss rod; this is not uncommon on these 12-strings as the twin truss rod troughs under the fingerboard were cut quite deep, very close to the back of the neck.

The guitar has a big powerful sound, and when it was built was still the only choice for a big-body 12-string-Gibson.

The work was done by Michael Hauver, a Maryland luthier who specializes in creating Stella-style instruments. A new 12-string neck and bridge were made in the correct period style for an original 1920's Oscar Schmidt body. As all-original Schmidt 12-strings are extremely rare this is a fairly economical way of answering the demand for them in an authentic if not completely original form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis relatively fancy guitar was originally built by the Oscar Schmidt factory in Jersey City to be sold by C. Bruno in New York, one of their biggest customers and a major jobber at the time. The original blue paper soundhole label reads \"C. Bruno \u0026amp; Son, New York, Established 1834, Incorporated 1908 Musical Instruments at Wholesale\" and dates to the 1920's or earlier. This guitar was probably a 6-string instrument when new, although Bruno did sell Schmidt-made 12 strings. The top is spruce, bordered on the edge and around the soundhole with a double row of the colored wood marquetry typical of Schmidt with celluloid outer binding. The back and sides are mahogany, with a bound edge and a wide herringbone center strip. The bracing internally is mostly original, with the original wide, thin bridge plate and a couple of added braces to better support the 12-string format. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe newer neck is made in the original Stella Style, but with a rounder backed profile than most original period Schmidt necks. The headstock is in the original slotted style with repro strip tuners of the type that would have been fitted at the time. The logo is a nice reproduction of the 1920's \"Stella\" die stamp with inset paint like the original. The fingerboard is ebony (a step up from the dyed white woods usually seen on the originals) and inlaid with the typical fancy \"New York\" shaped pearl pattern seen on many such guitars. The bridge is also ebony, carved in the typical Stella style with 12 pins (many original Schmidts use only 6). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar plays and sounds excellent; the rounder neck and ebony fingerboard definitely make it more user-friendly than most authentic 1920's Stella 12-strings. This smaller body guitar is not quite as deep sounding as the larger Stella 12 strings but still has a rich, powerful tone, and sounds great tuned to D or C#. Perfect for Barbecue Bob or Blind Willie stylings, and it will cover those Leadbelly tunes in a pinch. A very economical way to get the \"true Blues\" 12 string sound in a very gig-able instrument.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 41 1\/2 in. (105.4 cm.), 14 5\/8 in. (37.1 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 3\/4 in. (9.5 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 26 1\/2 in. (673 mm.). Width of nut is 1 15\/16 in. (49 mm.). There is some considerable wear and secondary finish work to the \"old\" parts of this guitar, but it is solidly rebuilt and retains a nicely relic'ed vintage patina. The newer neck and bridge show virtually no wear, but are well matched to the original components. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mahogany back has several old grain cracks sealed up, with a somewhat sloppier overfinish than the rest of the instrument. A long section of the bass side adjacent to the back appears to have been replaced with a slightly differently grained mahogany. This section is about 1\/2\" wide and runs from heelblock to tailblock. We can only assume the original instrument suffered some heavy damage in this area. There is one minor grain crack to the treble side as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe top has a long spruce grain split off the treble side of the bridge, otherwise it appears crack free and very solid. The top has an ambered overfinish with the original finish showing wear underneath. Everything on this guitar is very solid, as it was fitted with the replica neck the body was properly rebuilt to suit.
