{"product_id":"kalamazoo-kg-11-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1935-4103","title":"Kalamazoo KG-11 Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1935)","description":"Kalamazoo KG-11 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar, c. 1935, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sunburst top, dark back and sides finish, mahogany back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA nice example of the smaller-bodied flat-top from Gibson's pre-WWII budget Kalamazoo line. This guitar has no equivalent Gibson model, having a shorter body with a truncated upper bout compared to the KG-14 and L-00. The KG-11 is built of the same materials as similar Gibsons but is ladder braced and has no truss rod. The top is single-bound with a sunburst finish with triple-bound soundhole and fire stripe pickguard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe headstock is squared on the top with a white screened Kalamazoo logo and black plastic button strip tuners. Nice chunky neck with soft \"V\" profile; 14 frets to the body. Plays well and is an excellent choice for finger-style or slide blues playing; the ladder braced top results in a sound perhaps best described as halfway between a Gibson and an old Stella.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 37 1\/2 in. (95.2 cm.), 14 7\/8 in. (37.8 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 in. (10.2 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/4 in. (44 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll original, some general wear�a very good-sounding example. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Kalamazoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853266538636,"sku":"4103","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_8bc69eac-437c-4cf9-8d51-e9346a546fce.jpg?v=1774332532","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/kalamazoo-kg-11-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1935-4103","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
