Kalamazoo KG-31 Made in the 1930s USED For Sale

Kalamazoo KG-31 Made in the 1930s USED Description Second brand \"Kalamazoo\" manufactured by Gibson

It seems to have been manufactured from 1935 to 1940,
It has a spruce veneer and a mahogany plywood body.

Based on the specs and body size,
I think it\'s easier to understand if you think of it as a cheaper version of the Gibson L-48.

The adjustable rod, which is a feature of Kalamazoo, is omitted,
The top and back are arched using heat press,
It was manufactured at a lower price than Gibsons of the same period.

There are many things in common with Gibson from the same period.
Triangular neck grip, silk screen logo, etc.
It appears that they were manufactured in the same factory.

Even though it is a second brand,
Adirondack spruce because of the specifications at the time.
Jacaranda fingerboard bridge and now luxurious material.
tone
It has a light sound that is easy to play with good clarity in the midrange and especially the high range.

The low range is made of plywood, so it has a soft impression, but the overall sound balance is good, so
You don\'t have to worry about playing like jazz just because it\'s an archtop guitar.
I get the impression that it has an attractive sound that anyone can use.
