Silvertone 12-string guitar!!
A nice vintage 12-string, LeadBelly/Blind Willie McTell-style.
Just bought this cool acoustic on eBay and have fixed it up a bit, now it plays ok but it needs some more work later on, gotta find me something to adjust the truss-rod with.. 
And I don't like the sunburst on this one.. I'm gonna make it all brown soon..!!
These were sold as Stella's as well and many other brands. Solid birch in the body!
Ladder bracing gives it awesome projection, here I use 0.10's and I'm tuned down to C!!!! Feels like playing on spaghetti but I like the sound, LoL!
Gonna tune it to open D and see what happens..

Thanks, the two Blind Willie’s been great heroes of mine, both McTell and Johnson!!
I’ve been looking for years to find an old 12string like this one, just got it and I too love the sound!! 12-string slide is a new experience for me but I’ll incorporate it in my concert agenda for sure!
A train song for starters would be nice..
Beautiful sound off …
Beautiful sound off that 12 string. Reminds me of Blind Willie Mctell the way he played slide on the 12 string. In my opinion he was one of the greatest twelve string guitar players I’ve ever heard. That open tuning and slide gives that sort of steam engine train sound rolling down the tracks like somewhere like going to Tennesse.
