1953 Kalamazoo KG-1. One RARE bird!!
In 1953, Gibson made a Kalamazoo model KG-1, which was the forerunner to the Gibson Model LG-0. They were approximately 35-40 of these guitars made in total.
Ladder braced, 14 frets to the body, 3 on a plate Kluson tuners, mahogany front, back and sides and a 30's - 40's Kalamazoo logo stenciled on the headstock.
The cracks have been sealed up and cleated and the guitar has absolutely no issues at all. It plays nice.
I picked up this little gal from Neil Harpe. Check out his web site: http://www.stellaguitars.com/

Here's a video of me playing mine. I call this one 'A Blues Off The Top Of My Head' because, well... it was off the top of my head.. (under the hat of course ; )
All mahogany top, back and sides with a ladder braced top.
30s-40s Kalamazoo logo stenciled on a pointed roof peak headstock
