WTB: Kalamazoo

Choivert

After a Kalamazoo Kg14, KG12 or KG11 if anyone has one. I'd also consider a vintage Gibson L-00 but may be out of my price range.

This is a KHG-12 that has been converted right? I think the nut width is huge? Thanks for the heads up though.

Yes it is, sorry I didn't read the description.

It actually isn't very obvious from the description either. It seems Glenn uses the same description for most of the Kalamazoo's that go through his shop.

True. For what it's worth I've had a kg14 and a kg11 and found the 11 to be a lot better. Maybe it was that old Adirondack top but it was much louder and punchier than the 14. 

Choivert

That's great to know. I thought both were Adirondack tops? Didn't realise the KG11 and KG14 differed in too material 

Gandalph

I could be wrong but that's what I thought.
It's possible you get either or on both models depending on the year? 

Any experts reading feel free to chip in.
I'm sure though that the kg11 I had was adi.

Not sure if this would be of interest, it's been on the acoustic soundboard forum for a while.  Looks like a decent deal to me.  Not quite mint condition but......:)

1935 on reverb in Swindon. She messaged me on Facebook and apparently it's had a neck reset and re-fret.

I'm really sorry to hear that, a real shame that i didn't see your post sooner.  Good luck with the search!
