Description
The ever lovely Gibson Kalamazoo. Had this guitar all my life, floating bridge is annoying, but when you get this baby nicely tuned she's a beaut!
Here's the head! With the signature instead of the Gibson logo... they tricked us all!
I could stare at her all day ^^

Hey there, I recently bought a 'Kalamazoo' in July with the same headstock shape as yours here, I live in London and bought it from a music store down town in central London for a really cheap price as it was ruined and not complete. I had no information on what I was buying. all i now know is that the guitar in question (which I nicknamed 'Kacy') has a non original body made from alder instead of MDF but that the Neck and all its fixtures are from the orginal '64 model Gibson 'Kalamazoo'.
I think its an amazing guitar even though it has been bashed up and mostly made by me and my dad in my room. (it did not have a bridge, wiring of any sort or a switch.) fitting all of these things has made it precious to me and i love her very much. Its nice to know someone else is enjoying it as much as I am
Sorry for making this so long!

That's awesome! I have a deep love for this baby, the sound is perfect...
My dad got that guitar so many years ago... I think in the 70s somewhere in the US for $20 at a pawn shop. It's got a broken pick guard, and the paint is chipping off, but she's still good; even plays plugged in with the original pickups haha. I haven't played it in about a year, as I moved away for college, and I miss it terribly now. Nothing will come close to that puppy.
I'm also glad to hear someone can appreciate 'er.

I think its a decent under-appreciated (true to its name) american made guitar, i'm sure these guitars would have got alot further if gibson had stuck theyre own logo to them... but i suppose Kalamazoo is a bit more quirky
