{"product_id":"2006-yanuziello-kg-14-301","title":"2006 Yanuziello KG-14","description":"Another masterpiece from Joe Yanuziello.  The Kalamazoo KG-14 was the budget version of Gibson's already budget L-00 model of the depression era.  It was a simple guitar, with a single-bound sunburst top and unbound back and a bound soundhole but no rosette.  The neck and bridge were the same as those on the L-00, but the top's ladder bracing was what really made the guitar less-expensive - it sounded cheaper than the X braced Gibsons. Enter Joe Yanuziello,  among the most tasteful and talented luthiers on earth, with an order for a Kalamazoo KG-14 styled flat-top with the voice and bracing of an L-00.  The end result?  This meticulously built, flawlessly finished, and fine sounding instrument.\u003cbr\u003eIts Adirondack spruce top is X braced exactly as were the L-00's of the mid 1930's - Yanuziello's brace pattern and carve are exactingly copied from an L-Century that sounded incredible.  The Mahogany back and sides are bookmatched and quarter-sawn, and the single-piece neck is carved exactly like a 30's Gibson's would have been.  The fingerboard and small rectangle bridge are of figured Brazilian rosewood, and the fire-stripe pickguard is very much reminiscent of those found on L-00's.  the top's thin nitro finish is in Cremona sunburst, and the rest of the instrument is stained in Gibson reddish-brown.  Finishing touches include Waverly tuners with ebony buttons, ebony nut and bridge pins, compensated bone through-saddle, a two-way adjustable truss rod, and white silk screened headstock logo.  The nut is 1-3\/4\", the scale is 24.75\". \u003cbr\u003eThis guitar is one of Yanuziello's finest sounding flat-tops.  I'd take it over an L-00 most any day of the week.  It is a 2006 guitar, and although it is pre-owned, I would not call it used.\u003cbr\u003eWith a deluxe TKL hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"JOE YANUZIELLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610263478638,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/yan__0612.jpg?v=1790962812","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/2006-yanuziello-kg-14-301","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
