The Stellacasta is the natural evolution of our Spirit Series ’52 and ’56 Models, combining the best elements from both guitars.

• Our Special SweetSpot Alnico II Stella Pickup Set consists of our ‘56 model middle pickup and our ‘52 model neck and bridge pick ups. The controls are wired to give you 7 different pickup selections with Volume and Tone!
• The specially designed lightweight Swamp Ash Body is made with the graceful and comfortable contours of our 56 model.
• The bridge design is that of our 52 model, giving you much more touch sensitivity.
• The Stellacasta is made with a one piece quarter sawn flamed maple neck with our Reverse Taper Soft V neck shaping and proprietary Pre-tensioned and tuned to pitch Stainless Steel Truss Rod.
• The Medium Tall Fret wire offers easy bending, playability and longer life.
• Stella comes with titanium saddles and titanium string ferrules for enhanced touch sensitivity, more clarity, better harmonic definition, longer sustain and easier tuning.
• Each guitar features beautiful handmade fossilized mastodon ivory nut, string tree and switch tip.
• One of it’s most unique features is the color finish work. Each Stellacasta is hand lacquered with a three color nitrocellulose finish. Limitless color combinations available!
