Members carrie143 Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 I came across a Stella Harmony with the Model # ST 36 FCHS on the inside. Says steel reinforced neck and is a 6 string guitar, can anyone tell me the year I can't seem to find it anywhere online. photo: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=527991263925768&set=a.200455193346045.48659.100001446962586&type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Opa John Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 Try finding it here. Everything you ever needed to know about Harmony guitars.http://harmony.demont.net/Actually......I already checked the site for you. The only Stellas shown are the H1141 and the H929, but they might give you some idea of when yours was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Opa John Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 In that case it might help if you could post a picture of it. The link you posted doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members masterbuilt Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 Stella guitars were first built in the USa, then offshore, and then limited in number in the USA again at times. They were made for years. So, it would be hard to track down the date without some sort of serial number for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members masterbuilt Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 1970 is the year that they started producing models with laminated tops. I am looking for what models and years that some were produced offshore. I guess some are branded "Made in USA" and some are not. I have a friend that owned one years ago that was made in Japan (unless it was a forgery). It had the Stella decal with the line under it. The models with the Fender-like (Silvertone-style?) headstock came from the 1970s and seem to be laminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Neal Posted June 2, 2013 Members Share Posted June 2, 2013 I bet it looks just like this. And it's probably '60s. I'm hoping you paid less than 100 for it.. In their day, '20s-'40s, they were made very nicely, and some of the '60s Harmony's were made pretty decent, but do not have the dollar value attached. A nicely sought after Stella Harmony of the new batch is the 922 12 string, ladder braced, made in the '60s. Yours could be a decent little guitar. Not worth a whole lot, but may be decent nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
