Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Keb' Mo' “3.0” is Gibson Custom’s third artist model made with the guitarist, singer, and songwriter. This right-handed six-string acoustic-electric pairs a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with a mahogany body, a 25-inch-scale mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its neck meets the body at the 12th fret, a design described as providing a rounder, fuller-bodied voice and added playing comfort. An LR Baggs undersaddle pickup brings the guitar into amplified studio and stage setups, while the included hardshell case covers transport.
