Tuning Keys
The headstock of the Keb’ Mo’ Bluesmaster carries vintage-style open-back nickel tuners with an efficient 14:1 ratio for excellent tuning stability.
Bridge
The Keb’ Mo’ Bluesmaster carries a traditional “belly down” bridge made from solid East Indian rosewood, with traditional bridge pins and a solid bone bridge for enhanced sustain and resonance.
Pickup
The Keb’ Mo’ Bluesmaster carries a built-in L.R. Baggs Element pickup, with a single volume control mounted inconspicuously in the edge of the sound hole and a standard 1/4” end-pin jack. The Element is an advanced unit from one of the world’s leading acoustic-guitar pickup manufacturers, and it offers a broad, natural projection of the guitar’s natural tone, without interfering with the vibration of the top and bridge when the Keb’ Mo’ Bluesmaster is played unplugged.
Truss Rod Cover
The truss rod cover features the black and white plastic, “antique bell” and is engraved with Keb’ Mo’s signature.
Strings
The Keb’ Mo’ Bluesmaster is fitted with genuine Gibson light gauge acoustic strings, sizes .011 - .052.
