It doesn't look much like the only Kamaka guitar I've had my hands on. But who knows? That one was a little 12 fret slot head, very much in the Martin New Yourker vein.
This one appears to be pretty dang cool. Hope someone from the 'patch picks it up so we can all ooh and aah over it.
Yeah, old+koa+steel guitar does not necessary = $$$$$$$$$$.
It looks way cool, probably is lots of fun, but that doesn't equal the loot that they want.
Very similar to my pawn shop stop today. I was just looking for a beater acoustic to play in the classroom, and what they had was definitely beaten, rather crummy, but the prices were certainly high enough that they MUST have been good guitars! I mean, a Carlos which has a bashed-in jack on the side must be GREAT for $200!
