Here's a guitar I picked up at a yard sale yesterday. I don't know much about it as info on the old SS Stewat guitars is difficult to find. I'm not sure of the age of this guitar either since I cannot find any stamps or writing inside the guitar. It appears to be all original and better quality then most of the Harmony made cheap acoustic you find out there. This one has a wonderful huge deep V shaped neck, although it does need a neck reset as the neck angle is out a mile and the strings are quite high as a result.
The top, back, sides, and neck are all finished in a tobaco sunburst with a tortise shell pickguard and cream binding on top and back. This guitar features ladder bracing.
This guitar has a nice pearl inlaid headstock, unlike most SS Stewart guitars I've found on the internet. Not sure if this makes this guitar really old or a higher priced model from back in the day. I'd love to know how old this thing is.... I'm thinking maybe 1930's but I really don't know. Must do some more research on this guitar!
The plan at the moment is to do a neck reset and get this guitar playing good. Wonder how it will sound?
