Thanks for that Jeri most interesting but the guitar shop was
established in 1992

but I think my guitar dates from the 1960s

I was wondering has anyone owned one

or know where they were made

thanks
mike

It looks as if Kaman used the "Montana" name, probably for lower end instruments made in the far east? Models seem to start MT?

There was a KJ 141 on ebay uk listed at £2000 but it looks like there were problems with that auction.

If I recall correctly, Montana Guitars was a division of Kaman Musical Instruments, the original builders of Ovation and Adamas guitars. But it's unlikely Kaman had much to do with the design and production of the guitars. "Montana" was likely just one of the many "badges" under which several companies marketed virtually identical Korean-built guitars.
