Here is a beautiful antique Gibson Kalamazoo acoustic guitar. The serial number on the back of the head is EK-2851, which I believe dates it to 1939. I just picked this up from the estate of the original owner. The woman said this was found in her father\'s closet, where it was stored for many years. The case smells like mildew. There is no mold or water damage I can see on the case, the case is not great, and does have a broken handle. The guitar looks good. This is just as found, I did not clean this in any way. I really don\'t know much about guitars, so if you have any questions, please be specific. The neck is tight and looks straight. There is what looks like a thin tight crack just below where the strings attach, on the left side. I can feel it with my fingernail. I looked inside the guitar with a mechanics mirror and a flashlight, and I do not see anything that looks like a crack, so I don\'t think it goes all the way through. There is some warping to the face around the hole. I tried to capture it in the photos. The adjuster keys are very fragile and brittle. 3 have crumbled, they do turn though. There are just a few superficial scuffs and scratches from normal use. The guitar looks pretty good. It will need some repair/restoration before it can be used. I normally ship using USPS Priority mail, I will ship the larger items UPS Ground. I will combine multiple wins. I ship once or twice a week, not everyday. Shipping is very expensive, especially for larger size items. I do not make any money on shipping, I usually lose a bit. Please remember that, when grading my DSR ratings. PLEASE READ>>> If there is a problem with your item, please let me know. I handle problems quickly and fairly, but you have to let me know. Sorry, no International shipping, I will ship to North America only. I shipped Worldwide for years, and the high cost of Priority shipping has cost me low DSR ratings. buyers must have a confirmed Paypal address. I do accept other forms of payment. Thanks, good luck offerding!!!
