Rare and gorgeous Kay guitar, made in Korea, probably by Cort.
This is a high quality guitar with brass appointments (nut, saddles, cover and even dot inlay markers), rosewood fingerboard, string though body, neck through, nice natural finish, etc.
In addition to having nice construction and atypical look, it plays and sounds great with a thin, fast neck- the high output zebra pickups have incredible sustain. As well as a 3way pickup selector it also has an in/out of phase switch for more tonal flexibility.
It’s all original and in excellent condition. It shows very very little playing wear and has been well setup with no crackling potentiometers, no buzz, no dead spots, etc. Ready to play! Comes in a period-correct hard-case which is fully functional but pretty scruffy.
Really looking for a sale here- no post, cash on collection only. I’m in West Kilbride and available most afternoons/evenings. Thanks for looking.
