Guitar
I don't know why people always seem to think these Kays are a Japanese Product - perhaps it is the Bridge/Tailpiece section which was heavily copied by the Japanese - but these Kay Vanguards still have the original 3 screw USA made neck and bodies and those are also original DeArmond Pickups - the same bright single coils they put in some of the Gretsch guitars of the era. An that is what fans call the "bushwacker" headstock.

Beautiful and Rare 1960s Kay brand guitar, probably made in Japan. It's a solid body, red sunburst guitar, with white pickguard, similar to a Vanguard and is right handed. (The images look left handed only because I used my computer to take them.) It's in almost perfect condition and is in the original case. There are a few tiny dings in the paint but nothing major is wrong with the look or finish of it. It comes with a tremolo bar and sounds amazing. There are a couple of dings on the body, but other than that, it looks almost new. The paint job is beautiful. It has three single coil pickups that are chrome with black inlays and screw top, each with tone and volume knobs. Three tone and three volume knobs. Pearl inlays on the neck. No buckle rash, hardly a scratch on it. Tiny surface paint scratch near head. Never been set up as long as I've had it, about a year. Slight buzz on low E string. Just needs a setup. This is a rare and beautiful instrument,
you just gotta see it.
It's awesome. The case is off white and brown. All the snaps work on the case. This would be perfect for someone looking for a clean vintage sound! Looks like it's hardly been played! Call me to see it. Please don't email me asking if it's still available. If it's on here, it's available. 512-902-8600
- Silvertone 1420l In Albuquerque Nm For $499
Here is a seller offering a very nice looking all original Silvertone 1420L at a decent price. This version is one of the most desirable models of the Harmony "Stratotone" line since it has the original "Hershey Bar" pickups that sound great. ...

This seller is offering a Truetone Vanguard for $250 with the original case. This one looks exactly like my old Vanguard and I loved that guitar. The finish on these is so thin it is almost like a stain - which of course is totally cool. ********************************...
- Kay Vanguard (late 60's Version) In Scranton For $260
this same seller offered this guitar back in February for $315 and I listed it then - he has now dropped the price to $260. Should be a pretty good deal if you ask me - check it out: ******************************* Kay USA Guitar electric solid body...
- 1983 Gibson Flying V In Oxnard Ca For $600
Here is a nice looking Flying V - 26 years old and it's a rather unusual Cream color. I think this is the "Flying V 83" model because it has no pickguard and the straight tailpiece instead of the Brass V shaped type. these were lower end models...
- Harmony H77 In Denver For $850
Okay so I admit $850 is not such a great deal for a Harmony / Silvetone guitar - but we all know that Dan Aurbach plays one of these and the thing sounds awesome - so these are getting very hard to find for under $1000 these days (thanks, Dan). If I...
