This is a great looking Kay N-1. Set neck archtop with two speedbump pickups and a fantastc Era-specific promotional case. Gotta love this as a collectible or a great player for Jazz, Swing, Big Band or Retro Country.

A very sweet 1959 Kay N1. Pots, switch and jack were just replaced because the old electronics were unusable. The pickups are original and sound fantastic. The old electronics are included. It is a set neck guitar. It's strung with tens currently but could handle a heavier gauge. I have the pick guard and brackets. The pick guard has cracked so I took it off to preserve it.
The case is a trip. You can see what's written on it which makes me think this was a guitar used by a Kay salesman. It has just been set up and plays fabulously.
Price is firm. No trades, need cash

I don't know why the seller is describing this as a 1959 Guild - it is clerly an early 1970's Bluesbird. This is the M75GS meaning Gold Hardware - and it is most likely a 1973 because it has the phase switch (added in 1972) and the longer...
