~1998 Kim Walker Round Hole Archtop Sunburst
Description
Kim Walker Round Hole Archtop Guitar (used)
We obtained this guitar directly from Kim Walker in 2014. He told us it was a used guitar at the time. So it is a pre 1999 build in excellent condition. FROM THE VAULT.
"Kim Walker guitars are evolutionary designs inspired by American guitars that were constructed during the classic pre-World War II era. Rather than being copies of guitars from that period, they are refinements or interpretations of those designs. Perhaps, variations on a theme would be more accurate." - (Walkerguitars.com)

- This guitar is in Near Mint condition and a blast to play. It has a vintage vibe to the look and tone. As you may know, Kim is no longer taking any orders for archtop builds. And I believe his books are closed to any new orders at this time.
