This seller is offering a nice little Kay Vanguard (could be a Truetone, Old Kraftsman, or Penncrest model) - a two pickup version - for only $199. Nice deal on a fun vintage USA made electric, BUT can I make one request of all you future sellers. Please, no more hawking "Brazilian rosewood!" Gimme a break please! Just because it was made prior to 1970 and it is has some Rosewood does not make it "Brazilian." And even if it was it isn't necessarily high quality stuff. It's on the freaking fretboard for goodness sake - of an electric guitar. So it has little if anything to do with the tone. Trust me, if Kay or Harmony were making it, they would just as soon bust up the packing crates and reuse that wood to make guitars. Let's not get carried away with marketing.
Okay, that is my little pinhead rant for the day. Go back to your work. Nothing to see here. - JC

- Kay Truetone Vanguard (k100) W/ Orig Case In North Jersey For $250
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. ********************************...
- 1950's Kay Single Pickup Hollow Body Jazz Guitar In Monterey Ca For $325
This Kay hollow electric looks to be in very nice shape. It is rather unusual since it looks like a 3/4 depth rather tha a full size acoustic like the N-2 and it has the single cut soft curve lower bout that is similar to the Kay electric Bass...
- 1976 Seville (hondo) L5 Jazzbox In Las Vegas For $120
This Seville looks just like the Hondo II L5-CES jazz box from the late-70's and early 80's so those should be DiMarzio pickups (which came stock on the Hondo). Few and far between Japanese made top fof the line Jazzbox of that era...
- Kay Semi-hollow Project Guitar In Nj For $75
This speed Demon single is only missing a pickup and pots and an output jack. These are completely hollow guitars so it wouldn't be too hard to work on if you have some dexterity and patience. I rewound two pickups and remounted them myself...
