| | Description | The Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster Acoustic Guitar has a classic Gibson L-00 body and custom herringbone top trim, recalling the instruments played by some of the first blues artists in the Deep South of the United States. The custom neck shape and wider nut width give the Bluesmaster guitar easy playability. Tonal enhancements are created by a customized thinner top made of Adirondack Red Spruce—for singing tone and sustain. The Keb ' Mo ' acoustic guitar ' s carved French heel neck shape means easy finger reaching up the neck for those high notes and vibrato. The 12th fret is joined to the guitar body for a warmer resonant tone and added playing comfort. Gibson gives the Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster guitar a special darker vintage antiquing of its authentic nitro-lacquer finish. Other embellishments include a Keb ' Mo ' Signature truss cover and L.R. Baggs Element pickup with soundhole volume control. Each of the Limited Edition of 300 guitars will bear an inside label signed by Keb ' Mo ' himself Body Wood The top of the Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster is made from two pieces of solid Adirondack red spruce, a rare and highly prized tonewood that featured in the tops of many instruments from the golden age of the flattop acoustic guitar. The instrument ' s back and sides are made from solid mahogany. Design The Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster is made in the image of Gibson ' s small-bodied L-series guitars, such as the L-00. Its solid spruce top is sanded to a custom thickness and is supported by an X-brace pattern formed of scalloped spruce braces, all of which optimize its resonance and tonal richness. In the tradition of many small-bodied finger-style guitars, the Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster carries no pickguard, a feature which also further enhances the top ' s resonance. Tonal Characteristics Despite its small body dimensions, the Keb ' Mo ' Bluesmaster has a deep, rich, multi-dimensional tone, and a volume that belies its size. Its thin, lightly braced top aids its superb projection, whil | |

They are selling "re-issues" of this guitar to unassuming consumers. Dec 19, 2011

Okay people - hold onto your hats! Buyer beware.
I bought this guitar at Guitar Center three days ago. I have a tour coming up and wanted something small and light that will be easy to travel with, and I play a lot of finger style but have never had a guitar that was as well suited as this. I went into GC open to buying anything and left with this guitar pleased and excited. I want to state that I love this guitar, it sounds and plays beautifully, and because I'm a petite female it fits me nicely (doesn't dwarf me like my guild jumbo!). I was also super excited that I had something rare as only 300 of these guitars were made.
When I got home I started researching the guitar and to my surprise there were some things that did not add up in regards to my guitar in comparison to what I was finding online on forums, reviews, etc. Firstly, my guitar did not have a signed white rectangular label but instead had a machine printed orange oval label... hmm curious. Secondly, my guitar had no wooden inlay down the back middle of the back body... hmm curiouser.
So then I start to worry that maybe somehow I had purchased a counterfeit. I call Gibson with the serial number (which they verify), I ask my questions about why my guitar did not match what was represented here on Gibson.com or anywhere else online (besides Guitar Center) and I am told that they will investigate and get back to me.
Here is what I receive as a response from Gibson:
The first run of Keb Mo signatures were signed. Your guitar is after the initial 300 thus no signature and the orange label. After the first 300 the design changed to having no marquetry strip. Do to the popularity of the Keb model, we wanted to continue with the model but contractually needed to make some changes.They are amazing little guitars and sound great.
THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! Gibson has made more than 300 of these guitars and are selling them to consumers with a "Certificate of Authenticity" stating this exact statement "The Keb Mo' Signature Bluesmaster model is a limited edition of 300 guitars". The price however is still roughly $3900 list.I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in Gibson for this. Not for the quality of the instrument - but for their dishonesty.
