Vintage Stella Sovereign guitar restored
I bought this Stella Sovereign about 15 years ago in unplayable condition. I only used it for slide (as seen in this video • Stella "Sovereign" ) and decided to have it restored to a playable condition.
The guitar dates from the late 20ies

Restored by Dutch luthier Lucas Janssen of Spruce Guitars. He is specialised in this kind of work and did a great job. Check out his website http://www.spruceguitars.nl/
