Just acquired it from the original owner, $100 from Craigslist with Levy's strap and a so-so hard case. Not very playable, stiff action. Needs setup.
Very plain woods. No flame on the maple, oh well. It has a nice tone with new D'Addario phosphor bronze strings. I put the new strings on, adjusted the truss rod (which was completely loose), lowered the bridge some. It has a nice bark and is LOUD! With further setup work should be adequate for me.
Serial number is eight digits, starts with 1111 which means November 2011? Trying to find the true specs of this KM-160 since they seem to vary over the years. If I'm not mistaken, it has carved top and back and nitro finish? If so, with my feelings on the tone being good, it would be worth a bit of ugrading to me, such as a new, better quality bridge, maybe a new tailpiece. The tuners are nice and smooth.
