Item Description

In excellent condition with very minor marks, this lightly played Kenneth Pattengale Special steel string guitar is the signature instrument of the Milk Carton Kids guitar phenom, Kenneth Pattengale, based on the 1955 Martin 0-15. The small body is comfortable for players who need something more embraceable than a full size dreadnaught. It is part of a limited run originally sold through Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. The tone is warm, harmonious and full. It comes with Kenneth's signature hanky, too. Here is a sample of the guitar being played by this phenomenal duo.
