I've seen three different types of headstocks on Kalamazoo Instruments. Anybody know which headstock was used when? The one in the group pic had a stamp on the back of the peghead and was 1939. I've heard that the straight accross headstock indicated 1935. I've also seen some with the regular "gibson" headstock (I wonder if they were just Gibson necks rebranded as Kalamazoo???) Anyway, just wondering if anybody knew...
