Hawaiian Guitar.
Just purchased this 1941 Mastertone Special made by Gibson. It’s small but mighty hanging between my Kay and Lazy River.

Re: Hawaiian Guitar.
Having trouble seeing it through the luster of that Kay
But, great catch!
Which tuning on which guitar?
Always look forward to your A11 posts, BTW.

Re: Hawaiian Guitar.
The Kay is A11: AC#EGBD, the Mastertone is open D and the Lazy River is Dobro G. Lately I concentrate on C6 but I’m starting to understand what each has in common.

Re: Hawaiian Guitar.
I have been an acoustic square neck player and collector for 30 years. The Keytone (Kay) is the only one I have ever seen. It came from Bob Smakula. Flat top, f hole arch back big body and nice overlay. Good volume. Puts the Oahu and Regals to shame.

Re: Hawaiian Guitar.
I have a question,
How do you get them to hang sideways like that!

Ahh… I thought it was an experiment on the ISS.
All joking aside, that is a lovely collection.
