Just arrived for #gibsunday , an extremely rare 1931 Recording King Model 807 (Nick Lucas Style) Flat Top Acoustic Guitar made by Gibson in Kalamazoo Michigan! (Link in profile). - It was late 1930, the economy was collapsing everywhere. Gibson had parts and tooling set up to build their new improved large-body Nick Lucas Special, priced at $125. This very expensive deluxe flat top suddenly must have seemed VERY hard to sell as the Depression closed in. One solution? Assemble them with a plain headstock and no truss rod, spray them plain black and send them to Montgomery Ward to sell via mail-order catalog. Thus was born the Recording King Model 807, one of the finest practically unknown guitars Gibson ever produced. - - - - #recordingkingguitars #gibsonacoustic #rareguitars #nicklucas #recordingkingmodel807 #vintagerecordingking #montgomeryward #raregibsonguitar #nicklucasguitar #madeinkalamazoo #rareacousticguitar (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpszL6luX-l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
