K&F branded as Bronson

Noah Miller · From: Rocky Hill, CT

Here's one I hadn't seen before; it just sold on Reverb (not to me). We've all seen Bronson steels built by Dickerson, Valco and Rickenbacker... but this one is a re-branded K&F. I was under the impression that those early steels were all sold out of Leo Fender's radio repair shop and maybe one or two other local retailers, but it looks like they sold at least one through Bronson.

Is this generally known or a new discovery?

Here's a look at a K&F and amp:

Never heard of a K&F with a Bronson ID.

Interesting nut/head-stock plate combo....

Rickenbacher made a brown Bakelite guitar for Bronson way back when. Very Happy

That K&F is probably one of the later ones with gently rounded sides. If it has a K&F serial number, it's probably above about 500. (Only about 100 K&F's were estimated to have been made before the Fender name took over...and/or before Leo used up all the K&F logo plates.)
