1966 Kalamazoo KG-2A in Dallas for $300

You don't really see these Kalamazoo guitars out there on stage in the Indie or Alt music scene and I don't really understand why. Sure they have a "pressed wood" body but these are vintage USA made guitars from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo MI.

This seller has done everything you can possibly do to make this one into a player. He replaced the tuners with Gotoh Vintage (i.e. Kluson style) and he put a badass adjustable bridge on it. My guess is he probably recouped a big part of his investment by selling the original wraparound tailpiece since those are the same units that came on the Gibson Les Paul Juniors.

I've never seen a black KG-2 so this may be a refin - most of these are either white, red or light blue (just like the Fender Mustangs they were designed to mimic). I've never played one of these so I'd be curious to hear from those who have.
