{"product_id":"kalamazoo-kg-11-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1937-6759","title":"Kalamazoo KG-11 Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1937)","description":"Kalamazoo KG-11 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1937), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sunburst top, dark back and sides finish, mahogany back, sides and neck,spruce top, rosewood fingerboard, original brown chipboard case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA superb example of the smaller-bodied flat top model from Gibson's pre-WWII budget Kalamazoo line. The KG-11 has no equivalent Gibson model, it features a shorter body with a truncated upper bout compared to the KG-14 or Gibson's L-00. The KG-11 is built of the same quality materials as period Gibsons but is ladder braced and has no truss rod. The top is single-bound with a sunburst finish showing the fairly large highlighted area typical of the later 1930's, with a single-bound soundhole edge and firestripe celluloid pickguard. This guitar has a subtly sunbursted headstock face, which is not a common feature.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 in. (96.5 cm.), 14 3\/4 in. (37.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/8 in. (10.5 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.). This is an absolutely superb original example of a KG-11; as good sounding and playing a guitar as these get! The bridge has been neatly lowered and re-lacquered over; there are no other repairs or alterations and very little finish wear. Really as clean as we generally expect to find a 1930's instrument, complete with the original brown SSC. Excellent + Condition.","brand":"Kalamazoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852999446668,"sku":"6759","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_03c951e0-dffe-4aae-9a13-853774e8184a.jpg?v=1774330132","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/kalamazoo-kg-11-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1937-6759","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
