Lightweight, distinctive, gritty, and packed with character - what's not to like about these cool Kay student catalog guitars? This one from 1960 is super fun to play and remarkably affordable.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Good Vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including some pretty significant scratches, nicks, and aging of parts and finish. There's some deterioration of finish and a few remaining holes where the bridgeplate once was, and areas of the blue interior from the chipboard case have transferred onto the sides of the guitar (most visible in the side angle photo). See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
