Oscar Schmidt Decalomainia Stella O-Size Acoustic 1929-30 - Floral and Vine

This is a late 1920s-early 1930s Oscar Schmidt Decalomania Stella 0 Size acoustic guitar.

In very good condition for the year and displays the most amazing original graphics which have also stood the test of time well.

Ladder-braced Spruce top and Birch back and sides. It has a chunky soft V-profile neck the top nut is 48mm The playing action is excellent for such an old guitar.

Lots of original features, It has numerous marks and dings as one would expect but all in keeping with a used but cared-for instrument. There is evidence of some minor edge repairs but it seems free of any other major cracks or repairs. The neck is straight and it plays well for an old guitar with no fret buzz, there is a hairline crack visible below the tailpiece on the treble side, very faint, and does not appear to be structural. 

The top sinks slightly where the bridge is positioned. There is obviously some fret wear, but there is life left in them and they are nicely dressed and smooth, 

The sound is wonderful from such a small acoustic, ideal for that true vintage blues sound.

And its it is a joy to play such an amazing piece of guitar history,
