Alex -- you are right -- probably 30-40 dollars in the depression - but that is not 150 dollars in today's dollars. Even if it were, quality vintage instruments increase in value...

A vintage Kalamazoo in good condition is also pricey and you cannot buy them for $150. The only difference between a Kalamazoo and a Gibson is they don't have a truss rod or...

Hi Mudcat, That was a long time ago but they were either Seymour Duncan or Lindy Fralin PUs. I still use their products mostly. Duke
