Konkoly Guitars is proud to introduce the Vintage Reproduction Series.
These guitars feature period correct elements that more accurately capture the look, feel, and tone of classic flat-top designs of the 1920's and'30's. Standard features include bar frets/non-adjustable neck re-inforcement , hide glue construction, and Adirondack spruce top with vintage top dome (which is flat top edge side profile with domed lower bout of 30' radius with a transition to flat edge).
Other vintage details include cloth side and X brace reinforcement , maple end block reinforcement strip on mahogany block, full width end block, and vintage style brace profiles.
