Experience the Elderly Difference
Luthiery legend Dan Erlewine’s first signature guitar, based on his beloved 1937 Kalamazoo KG-11. It features a 1930s V-shaped neck, Rickard rear-mount banjo tuning machines (smooth!), an Adirondack spruce top and Honduran mahogany back, sides, and neck. Most intriguing, its neck extends past the nut before transitioning into the ears of the peghead, and threaded brass inserts in the fingerboard accept screw-down capos. “It’s the most musical new guitar I’ve ever owned,” says Erlewine.
