"Whine-onah" is a Kalamazoo (Gibson) KEH lap steel born in 1948. She's been around the block and is excited to be in playing condition again!
Ready to gig with!
Branding - "Kalamazoo" painted on headstock in gold
Body and Neck - Unspecified hardwood, painted dark or wine red
Fretboard - 29 frets, painted in gold directly on the body
Markers -Gold painted numbers, similar to BR-6 v1.
Pickup - Gibson "metal-covered" pickup
Finish - Dark or wine red paint
Other - original tuners were crumbling, replaced with new
- complete rewire including new volume pot (old one was dead)
- reinforced and glued cracked plastic pickup plate
- replaced attached cable with output jack
- volume knob appears not to be original or else it would be brown Bakelite
- dated via potentiometer code - 2150566 839 = 1948 39th week
Similar to the pre-war era, Gibson supplemented their lap steel sales with a Kalamazoo-branded budget outfit first shipped in January 1948. The post-war KEH was finished in dark red and fitted with just one volume control. Barnes & Reinecke design with a numbered fretboard painted dierctly on the body, simliar to the first variant of the BR-6.
This guitar was purchased in Poor condition with a non-functioning volume pot and a deteriorating attached cable. She's been cleaned up as much as possible and is ready for the nightlife once again. Don't judge this book by its cover.
Ready to play!
I no longer accept offers due to bots and idiots like James Schwartz of Gibsonia, PA.
These guitars are offered to the buyer as a service. I love them and would prefer to keep them.
