    I never see these here so I thought I'd share....Gibson-Kalamazoo -Recording King Carson J Robison Model K "Jumbo"...16 1/4" lower bout with ladder bracing and hand rubbed sunburst finish. Rare to find these and this one is oh so honest. The largest of the Gibson Depression era flat tops. Check out the scan from my 1939 Montgomery Ward catalog, showing the stickers offered to "personalize" with your initials, as seen on the lower bout of this example. This one has got a nasty mouth on her that's perfect for those nasty blues. See her take the slide in the video.
    Not for sale at this time.
