1936 Gibson Kalamazoo “Carson J. Robison” Model KG-14

***SOLD***
Another great sounding example of the Gibson Kalamazoo “Carson J. Robison” model KG-14 which was only the second celebrity endorsed guitar by Gibson after the Nick Lucas. These are the higher style version of the standard KG-14. Structurally identical to the basic KG-14 but with finer finish appointments that set it apart from the standard model like the lighter piece of figured Brazilian rosewood for the fretboard and an added shade of red between the orange and black in the sun burst and a lighter stain on the mahogany back, sides and neck that make these stand out from the crowd. Cream colored tuner buttons and bridge pins and a bone nut instead of the standard ebony complete the higher end all original look.

Recent neck set and pro set up by David Hatchard including new bone nut and saddle, impeccably fabricated from vintage bone with gorgeous execution and Blazer & Henkes replica bridge pins. Sweet finger style action at 4-3 with plenty of string break across the saddle. No top or side cracks and just a few tightly repaired non noticeable back hairlines.

All original with no funny business including bridge, Kluson tuners and a very nicely figured Brazilian rosewood fretboard, and no refin or over spray. Creme de la Creme of the Kalamazoo KG14s and certainly one of the best I have ever had. Could not ask for a better sun burst with such stunning Gibson crazing in the seemingly seamless top!

Your choice of a Vintage style tweed case or black TKL style, both well fitting and complete the package.

Great sounding example see it played…
