My 1933 Gibson Carson J. Robison, which is the same as a Kalamazoo KG-11. The only difference between it and a Gibson L-0, is that the L-0 has an adjustable truss rod and x bracing. This has a non adjustable truss rod and ladder bracing.
Headstock with silkscreened Carson J. Robison logo. The tuners have been replaced.
Body showing spruce top, brazillian rosewood fretboard, mother of pearl dots and a cool art deco checkerboard sound hole ring, which was only used in 1933.
Typical mini tobacco sunburst finish, the typical Gibson finish of the time, unless they finished it all black or natural.
As I said, the top is spruce and the fretboard is brazillian rosewood. The sides, back and neck are all mahogany.
Cool as all get out, eh?
