New Kalamazoo KG-11-F Pre-War Tribute Acoustic Guitar Sunburst
Fox Guitars and the author of the book “The Other Brands of Gibson” presents a brand new tribute to the legendary pre-WWII Gibson-made Kalamazoo KG-11 flat-top acoustic guitars. Construction features include: solid red spruce top with spruce x-bracing; solid mahogany laminate sides and back; spruce ladder-braced back; spruce kerfed lining; 3-ply top binding, single bound back and sound hole; solid mahogany C-shaped neck profile with volute and truss rod (adjustable inside the body below the fingerboard – wrench included); Glossy lacquer sunburst top, brown back, sides and neck; high quality 18:1 individual tuners with black buttons; solid Indian rosewood fingerboard with MOP dots, solid rosewood bridge with bone saddle and black pins; bone nut; fire stripe pickguard. These guitars have a warm and full-sounding tone akin to guitars with larger bodies. Great for strumming or finger-picking. Its compact size makes a great campfire/travel guitar, but also a beginner student instrument.

Customer Feedback: "I am absolutely thrilled. The original Kalamazoo guitars couldn't have been any better (or even as well made as this one. Only problem is, now I have to learn how to play the thing. Honestly, I am delighted!"
“I got mine (KG-11-F guitar) also and am very impressed. It sounds as great as it looks, just an incredible value for the cost. Thanks” – Steve K.
“Solid top sounds pretty good. The real KG-11’s have been broken in for 80-90 years. It has a “C” neck profile, finish is spotless, Grover type tuners.” - Bill S.
