Hey Had an old Classical Guitar hicking around for a few years that has no bridge. Figured I would get it up and running sometime and use it as a camp guitar? Just looked inside it today for the first time and I am curious......It is a "Montana" and it says it is Kaman Company Product? couldn't look more like a standard wood bodied guitar? Neck is straight and the body is good. So........ could someone tell me if this is an early example of Kaman Corp's work or is this an Import thing? I did not get a serial number... NO big find I just thought it was neat to see Kaman's name inside this old thing. And was wondering if anyone has any info on them. Thanks
Randy

Kaman put there name an a whole bunch of stuff (that they didn't build themselves). I've got a brochure of Kaman dulcimers! It has no more relationship to Kaman than Gibralter, Toca, Takamine, etc.

They are some of the GSOs that KMC sells.

(guitar shaped objects, at one point we sold over 200,000 a year)
