Vintage guitars for sale: kalamazoo kg

Incredible sounding and playing kalamazoo kg-14 that has been completely gone through by my luthier!

What a cool guitar made as a lower priced line by Gibson during the 30's & 40's as an option from its more expensive L-0. Its unusual bell shape was ahead of its time giving it lots of bass & treble tones on a budget. Its 2-tone Dark Sunburst finish is in pretty fine yet slightly weathered shape w / lots of cool patina. Its got a very pretty flamey tortoise'gard that we all luv on older Gibson guitars. Its got a mahog flat back & sides also showing some age appropriate wear. Its neck... more

The Kalamazoo Guitar brand was a subsidiary of the Gibson Guitar Co. from Kalamazoo Michigan. At that time, it was a budget model offered price wise but these have come into their own over the last 30 years, some being fabulous original guitars from the late 30's thru the early 40's. This KGN-12 Oriole model was like Gibson's L-oo & is probably the most beautiful 100% original example extent. Its all Blonde finish is stunning from its Spruce top to its very figured Maple back & sides. ... more

Throw it on a Kalamazoo or make a new body for it.
