    Description

    30s Kalamazoo KHG-11 12 fret Hawaiian Style guitar. I’m getting mixed information about whether or not it’s been converted from Hawaiian style. It still has a pretty decently thick bridge, but the neck is V shaped and not square.
    Amazing resonant tone wood. Great sustain. Feather weight.
    Weight. 3.4lbs
    Length. 37”
    Upper bout. 10”
    Lower bout. 14 7/8”
    Depth. 4 3/8”
    Nut width. 1 7/8”
    No numbers / markings to be found.
    Big beefy V pattern neck is pretty straight. Saddle is shaved pretty low but could be taken down another mm or so if desired. Med action in upper frets. Works great with slide.
    Priced low to accommodate neck reset should you feel the need.
    Rosewood fretboard with minimal wear Frets are in very good shape.
    Lots of light finish scratches on front back side and bottom. Stable Hairline crack on the back coming down from the neck heel. No repairs that I can detect.
    Classy single bound body. Kalamazoo silkscreened on face of head. I’m guessing spruce top and mahogany neck, sides and back. Original bridge and pickguard. Very Light warping of the plastic sound hole liner/insert.
    I’m guessing tuners were replaced but I’m not certain. They still hold tune well.
    Includes moderately worn Chipboard case which shows wear. All clasps, hinges and handle are intact. Non smoking homes
