Bob John How did tons of research on Stellas and builds some incredible Stella-like guitars today.  Perhaps PM him?

I have a 1920's Stella Concert guitar, and a 1920's Jeseph Nettuno Grand Concert (one of the Italian Luthiers in NYC who created very similar - but superior ladder braced guitars IMO during the '20's).  I actually did a tracing of the Nettuno and sent to John per his request awhile back.  If anybody is in the South NJ/Philadelphia area, you are totally welcome to come over and inspect/measure/trace/etc.
