Vintage 1930s Kalamazoo KG-31 archtop acoustic guitar made by Gibson. This1930s KG-31 is all original except for the pickguard and the pickguard hardware. The old Kluson tuners work pretty well considering their age. The Brazilian rosewood bridge is set as low as it will go, but despite the low bridge height, the string action at the 12th fret is fast enough that the guitar is very comfortable to play all the way up the neck
There are no top cracks or back cracks or repairs and the bound ... more

It was an estate sale find, and has the level of wear to be expected from a late 1930s instrument. To avoid harming vintage value, I have done very little ??fix-up, ?? aside from a good polish (Kolstein Instrument Polish) and a restring with light electric strings for play-testing, to avoid undue stress on the neck. No... more
