Vintage guitars for sale: kalamazoo kg

The Kalamazoo Guitar brand was a subsidiary of the Gibson Guitar Co. from Kalamazoo Michigan.

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

The guitar has a lot of wear and tear all around. There is scratches and small chips throughout the whole body. The stickers on the neck are peeling off, with some already missing. The strings are all still attached and feel sturdy. I am unable to play the guitar so I can not comment on how the instrument plays.

Vintage 1930s Kalamazoo KG-31 archtop acoustic guitar made by Gibson. This 1930s KG-31 has a bound neck and a bound pickguard and is 100% original. The old Kluson tuners work pretty well considering their age; the D an G string tuner knob shafts are bent. The Brazilian rosewood bridge is set as low as it will go. Despite the low bridge height, the string action at the 12th fret is fast enough that the guitar plays comfortably all the way up the neck. The sharp "V" shape neck is solidly joined to... more

Kalamazoo Archtop Guitar. I'm not an expert on these but based on the 14 3 / 4" lower bout I believe it's a KG-21, made in the 1930s. Solid spruce over solid mahogany, in good condition, especially for its age. One crack on the bass side has been glued and seems solid, other shown cracks appear to be just the finish as the wood isn't moving. Playing nicely but also suitable for further restoration.... more

Neck I got in a trade that I don??t have a use for at the moment. Seems to have been refinished at some point. There is a bit of a lip where the finish reaches the fingerboard and they taped it off, could use some sanding.

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

Made by Gibson at the Kalamazoo plant in Michigan. A lovely KG-31 archtop in really great condition. I'm not sure about the exact year of manufacture, they were made between 1935 - 1943. It has "OK-1428" stamped on the back of the headstock above "Made in the USA"
As is typical of a lot of guitars of this era, the neck is a softish V shaped and it's nice and straight. The action is terrific - it's a very easy guitar to play
Nut width is 1" 3 / 4
Scale Length is 24" 3 / 4
